About Me

When I'm not teaching at my elementary school I perform stand-up comedy. I play hockey for a celebrity team called the Jokers that raises money for various charities in Southern Ontario. Comedy is a passion and I try to do as many shows in between my teaching career, my family and the occasional bounty hunt. If you have flown Air Canada recently, then you may think my face is familiar. I'm on the in-flight safety video which is both lame and nifty at the same time. One day, when I fly via Air Canada, I will don the exact same outfit I wore for the video-shoot and just stare at the passenger beside me. Until then, my ultimate goal is to tour and/or delevop a program to teach stand-up/sketch at a high school level. That and tame a wolverine. That would be awesome.

My Interests

comedy, hockey, poetry, camping, movies, music (concerts), basketball, bounty hunting, babies

I'd like to meet:

Other people named Mike Takacs. Because I'd like to meet the other Mike Takacs' of the world and find out more about these fine gents that share my name. I'd even consider traveling somewhere (within a reasonable distance) to meet up with another Mike Takacs. We could get to know each other over a coffee or a short get-together and when the time is right...i'd murder him because I have a feeling I'd level up to a better version of Mike Takacs. I should be at level 5 by now.

My Blog

Why did it have to be another teacher?

Here's the thing.  Okay, I am happy that they may have found some closure for the Ramsey family with capturing a suspect.  Poor Jon Bonet.  I am still unsure what was more horrific, the...

First Time

After much coaxing from a variety of fellow comedians I finally got on this thing.  So I'll make this blog short and sweet.  My myspace may be a tad barren right now, but give me some time, ...
