ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Mike Daisey, who has been called “the master storyteller” and “one of the finest solo performers of his generation” by The New York Times, is the preeminent monologist in the American theater today. He has toured for two decades across five continents, ranging from remote islands in the South Pacific to the Sydney Opera House to abandoned theaters in post-Communist Tajikistan to Broadway. Over dozens of monologues he has reinvented the form, from his critically acclaimed 29-night live theatrical novel, All the Faces of the Moon, a forty hour performance staged at the Public Theater, to The Last Cargo Cult, where he gave away his entire fee every night as part of a performance on the economic collapse, to his prescient monologue The Trump Card, which predicted Trump’s rise to power and played on Broadway a week before his election. He’s been a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher, the Late Show with David Letterman, as well as a commentator and contributor to The New York Times, The Guardian, Harper’s Magazine, Newsweek, WIRED, Vanity Fair, Slate, Salon, NPR and the BBC. He has also been nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Award, two Drama League Awards, and is the recipient of the Bay Area Critics Circle Award, six Seattle Times Footlight Awards, the Sloan Foundation’s Galileo Prize, and both Yaddo and MacDowell Fellowships.
