An evening of laughter and learning with Mike Cotayo “The Funny Shrink”

Mike knows how to handle difficult people because he was one! Surviving a traumatic brain injury, he overcame his own addiction to drugs. He then went on to devote over 20 years of his professional life as a clinical social worker servicing the needs of the mentally ill and chemically addicted.

As an expert in treating patients with borderline personalities, he has delivered keynotes internationally, including speaking at the European Association of Gestalt Therapy in Sicily. In addition to his career as a clinical social worker, Mike has achieved acclaim as a stand up comedian where he discovered the power of humor to heal. He has headlined at The Laugh Factory in New York City, as well as Binghamton University, Columbia University and Kansas State University.

“Funny Man Mike Cotayo is a comedian who knows how to take the stage by storm. His unique blend of silly, smart and dark humor leaves audiences in hysterics, while making others snarf drinks through their nose. Funny Man Mike promises to have you coming back for more.”
