An Audience with Micky Zany

More fun and laughter as Micky discusses the publication of his book ‘Taking The Micky’, about his life in show business and the changing face of comedy over the years. You can book Micky for your Social Club, Golf Club, After Dinner Speeches, Rotary Club, Women’s Institute and Corporate Events.

In May 2005 Micky thought it would be a good idea to put pen to paper and tell his story so far. A tale about a quiet, unassuming, shy Suffolk lad who made a career out of making people laugh.  However, it seemed to take forever to write this forthcoming best seller as it was eventually published in 2015, with a revised edition in 2019.  Mind you, a lot has happened over this last fifteen years or more, so taking the time to complete his masterpiece has been well worth the wait!

He sees it as a sort of legacy for his children and grandchildren to read to get some sort of insight into his life, his thinking, and his time treading the boards.  His early thoughts were how many people would be interested in reading about his life and his opinions on comedy?   A lack of confidence was already beginning to show.  The book takes in his lifetime experiences to date, with lots of laughs along the way and contains over two hundred photographs and nearly seven hundred funny lines and gags.  

Over the years he has performed to hundreds and thousands of people, millions in some cases when taking into account his TV appearances.  He is optimistic that many people will enjoy reading about his life, the first half a regular guy with no reference to bowel movements, and the second half a successful ‘almost famous’ comedy entertainer.

Micky has a saying, ‘those that matter……matter’.

This morning I arrived home from a cruise and out of all the acts and shows I saw only the comedian was memorable for the right reason. His name was Micky Zany. Why was he memorable? Simply, he was funny and made me laugh which most comedians find difficult because their acts are often based on old jokes and the same old patter. Micky was different because his jokes were new, a great impersonator of individuals and accents. He was a breath of fresh air.
