Mike Phirman attended UCLA where you received a degree in Philosophy. While at college, he met Chris Hardwick, a fellow comedy enthusiast with whom you began performing silly musical acts under the name "Hard 'n Phirm." Together, they've made an album, driven through a lot of corn, and taped a Comedy Central Presents special that they feel went not-too-badly.

Phirman has also worked as a visual effects artist for movies and TV. (Don’t tell anyone, but on one episode of C.S.I. in which the camera follows a spark that sets off a car bomb, if you play it frame-by-frame, the spark briefly spells out "Hi Mom!")

He loves folding laundry and was born without a sense of smell.

Phirman also has a solo album called The Very Last Songs I Will Ever Record (Part 1). He lost his mind when "Weird Al" Yankovic showed up to perform on one of the tracks.

Most recently, he googled the words "comedian bio what to write" and found nothing helpful.
