Mike Dolan - Commander in Comedy
Manage episode 388574982 series 3535833
In episode 9, actor, comedian, and entrepreneur Mike Dolan recounts the stories of his childhood growing up in a military family, as a third generation "army brat", moving every 2-3 years, while his Dad was in Colonel in the army. As the oldest of three siblings, he grew up on military bases in such places as Saudi Arabia, Panama, Alaska, and Japan. He spent time camping in the desert as a boy scout, and watching camel races where women were not allowed. Coming from a conservative, Irish-Catholic family, he attended "secret" church on Fridays (he learned about the lack of religious freedom early on), and traveled in caravans for safety. After moving to Alaska (his final military move), he was randomly "recruited" into a high school play by a new classmate, and it opened up a new world for him. Listen to find out what ultimately caused Mike to pay attention to his inner voice, and follow his true calling into comedy.
