Michael Bates

I’m a comedy-driven performer with a strong background in improv, stand-up, and physical storytelling. I bring natural rhythm, timing, and presence to every set, supported by over a decade of experience in dance choreography and music performance. My work blends humor, movement, and authenticity, making me a strong fit for campus, ensemble, and character-driven environments. I’m professional on set, take direction well, and thrive in collaborative productions; especially projects rooted in culture, community, and energy.
