With a penchant for finding the absurd in everyday life and a knack for weaving relatable tales with a comedic twist, Finoia takes the stage to deliver a performance that’s both uproarious and thought-provoking. Mike’s debut comedy special is more than just laughs - it’s a celebration of finding humor in life’s chaos and imperfections. Filmed live at Fairfield Theatre Company and produced independently, this is the first of many homeruns for Finoia.
This special was independently funded, produced and edited by me, and any money made on this release can go towards funding the next project for your viewing pleasure. If you have the means, and want to support, THANK YOU and know that it's greatly appreciated. Feel free to use any of the links above to pay what you think it's worth.

800 Pound Gorilla 🦍 is literally my new home for stand up. Hit after hit. Mike was absolutely hilarious 😅
Thank you!!
😂😂😂 Thanks, Mike! So fun to watch you!
agreed, blown away actually, America has so many great comedians nowadays.. that id never heard of.. wd for giving them deserved air time
It is not fair to mention any particular joke …amazing material from the beginning to the end…congrats 🎉 and thank you 🙌.
Thank you!!
I wasn’t ready for the end of the set, now I need more of this guy!!!
I don't know what's more funny... his jokes or his laugh!
His laugh for sure
Neither
Loved his laugh, there was one comedian that has a annoying fake sounding laugh. Sounded like it was forced to try to convince people that what he saying was just a joke. It was huh...huh..huh.. after everything he said. Was like a more heavier/duller laugh like that seagull bit from family guy, when it was laughing at Adam Sandler
Just saw this guy open for big Jay last night in San Diego he had a great set!
Thank you I've had a effed up day. Grab me some Starbucks grab me a sandwich from a nice mom and pop and this just completed my relaxation. So thank you for being the eye of my hurricane
Anytime!
Mike is the coolest
Thank you!!
Just randomly found this set on KZhead,, and I figured, "Fuck it, let's see what happens." This guy is funny, I like his style. Great analogies xD I would go see this dude's show if he came to my area, for sure.
❤❤
@@mikefinoia It was so funny that I recommended it to my friends and family, haha. Keep it up! Come to Florida, man! You're way too funny to only be doing shows in . . . *checks notes*, fucking TEXAS and OHIO?! The two shittiest states? Lol, the fuck are you doin'? (It's okay everyone, calm down. I'm from Ohio, so I can say shit like that. Can't speak for Texas, though.)
The hangman bit brought back some memories, great special
Thank you so much!
Haven't laughed that hard in a while. I needed that, and it's cheaper than therapy. Thanks Mike!
❤
This was absolute greatness! Hilarious from the get go and kept us laughing all the way through! One of the better specials on the tube!! Congrats Mike on an amazing job! #oneforthebalds

My mom studied nursing at my vocational high school (adult education). My junior year, she was attending nursing school right next door to me (in cosmetology shop), every two weeks. (Academics & shops alternated every 2 wks). She worked for about 30 yrs as an LPN. Low Paid Nurse. 😂 My dad came up with that one. 🎄☮
All i can say is spetacular show. You had me laughing out loud so many times. Thank you sir. Many blessings and praise the lord and creator
