In this week's Mike Behind the Mic podcast, we talk to stand-up
comedian, host, writer, and public speaker, Mickey Bell, who as of
the release of this podcast on Tuesday August 24th, will be
performing at Comedy Club Stardome in Hoover, Alabama. It's part of
his One Pound At A Time comedy tour and it's being recorded for an
upcoming live comedy TV special.
Mickey's comedic career was born out of, by his own admission, some
self-inflicted hard times. The former pastor doesn't hide from his
sins that became public and resulted in him being removed from
pastoral duties. But following that, he fell into a condition so
many deal with, but not everyone talks about. Deep depression. Yet,
out of that dark time, Mickey found a way to talk about his past
and at the same time, make people laugh.
As he took time to chat, the Alabama native openly shared his
personal story of restoration and second chances, in hopes of
encouraging others.
