“Mike Fine has appeared at the historic Actors’ Temple in Manhattan on a number of occasions, at our hilarious Comedy Benefits, lending his talents and bringing laughter to us all. He is an audience favorite. With his special brand of self-deprecating humor, he turns tales of suffering into laughter, showing his wonderful sense of the ridiculous and great coming timing. He is a pleasure to work with and a total professional. I recommend him to anyone wanting to hire him for an event or a show.”

For the fourth year in a row, Mike’s Borscht Belt style delivery and clever material, helped make our event a huge success. Having booked many performers over the years, Mike has consistently been able to stand out due to his ability to work clean and achieve big laughs.”

“Mike Fine Is not only funny, he is compassionate. He performed at our fund raising comedy show for LOVE Gilda- a documentary film that tells the story of how one beloved comedienne became an inspiration to people. Mike not only had the audience laughing he truly understood the mission of the film. And he brought us some tickets we could raffle off for prizes. Who wouldn’t want to hug him!”
LISA D’APOLITO
DIRECTOR/PRODUCER, LOVE GILDA
“Mike performed at our annual All Points Borscht comedy night. He was easy to deal with, most affable and very very funny. After the show he hung around and mingled with the congregation. A real mensch!”
PHIL RIVO
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, TEMPLE BETH EL
“We just ran an extremely successful Comedy On Central event. Mikey Fine was one of our signature acts and he brought the house down. He is unique in the fact that not only does he grasp what is the Orthodox concept of clean, but in fact he has grown up through the system and is Orthodox himself. Although Mikey’s material is on the cutting edge and “with it” he stays on the appropriate side of the line and always gets a lot of laughs. I would strongly recommend that you use, Mikey, for your next event, fundraiser or scholar in residence.”

“Mike, thanks so much for performing at our MJE East dinner this past Friday
night. You were great, except when you picked on me of course, but
otherwise it was fine (sorry I could not resist). And I appreciated that
you kept it clean. I hope your friends enjoyed, it was nice meeting them
and I will try to reach out to some. We hope to see you again soon at MJE,
and thanks again, it was great.”

“Michael, many thanks for your hysterical set at our annual charity golf outing. You did a great job putting a huge smile on the face of all in attendance and putting our donors in a good (and giving) mood! Nicely done Mike, we look forward to working with you again.”
STEVE NEVILLE
GOLF CHAIR, PRESCHOOL ADVANTAGE
“On behalf of everyone who came out to our fundraising event, benefiting Ezer Mizion; I would like to thank Mike Fine for making the night such a tremendous success. Coming highly recommended by a friend, Mike far exceeded our expectations and managed to keep the audience rolling all night. He was as big of a mentsch as he was funny, and I hope to have him back by our next event.”
ELISHEVA ELEFANT
COMEDY FOR A CAUSE / COMMITTEE CHAIRWOMAN
“Mike Fine was great. It is a rare treat today to hear a comedian who is funny and clean too. Mike has a real insider knowledge of our Orthodox community. Against that backdrop, his deadpan demeanor and great delivery made his jokes at our expense even funnier. we got many compliments from our FD attendees, and would recommend him again for our events and other Orthodox circles.”
FRAN SHULMAN
FRUM DIVORCE / BOARD MEMBER
“On behalf of the membership at JASA Club 76, I want to thank you for your generous contribution to our first “Comedy & Cake” fundraiser at the Midtown Holiday Inn. Your performance was spot on, as indicated by the “you could hear a pin drop” quality of the audience, which is not a given when you get a group of seniors together, each with an opinion and point of view. We hope to have you back again soon.”
