Mike Lemcke wants to live in a world where people can laugh at funerals, drink at museums and check out of hotels at 2 pm. As a comedian, he has been applauded for his stand-up performances, honored for his short film directing and widely panned for his acting abilities. When he is not scribbling into a notebook, or standing in the back of a comedy club feeling envious of a well-written joke, he can be found drinking at a barbecue in Northern California or a coffee shop in Stockholm.
