Raising Gang: Mikey Kolberg

Posted on June 7th, 2025 Comments Off on Raising Gang: Mikey Kolberg

Does it seem like the time between posts is getting shorter, Raising Gang?

Well, I’m not amenable to schedules so … TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK!

Thus, without further delay … today’s target is: Mikey (a.k.a. Michael) Kolberg

You may or may not remember him trying to ignominiously usurp the renowned role of a beloved cripple:

Here’s another clip of Mikey (terribly) impersonating Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson, all the while belittling stalwart Canadian icons, the Timbits:

I care not one iota for hockey, moderately enjoy confectionery, and yet I’m thoroughly disgusted when I see the lengths to which Mikey, and by extension The Gang, are willing to take things:

Classifying Phil Kessel’s mom a “whore” seemed like a new low until Mikey ended his exposition of the hockey player’s mother by calling her a “bitch”. Wow.

Not long after this Mikey tried to pass himself off as a celebrity:

We can see him again later following familiar patterns:

By all accounts Mikey has continued his grifting ways and still “performs comedy” in Toronto to this day.

Is that enough yet, Raisin Gang?! Get in touch.

Gleein’ it up

Posted on May 17th, 2010 2 Comments

It’s pretty rare for me to troll around on YouTube — regular web’s fancy enough for me.  But just as I was settling down for the evening I just spotted an article in The Star about local 26-year-old Jeigh Madjus who was recently found online by The Unmentionable One (last name borrowed from a famous hotal chain / personality-aborted blonde, first initial sounds like urine).

Jeigh put together a couple of audition clips for Fox’s Glee — a show that even a musical-hating person like myself can get something out of — and although I make have little musical experience I happen to think this guy’s got some skills. Doesn’t hurt that he’s from TO either. ;)

Find more Jeigh on his YouTube channel, or just keep your eyes and ears open. Call me crazy but I think this young man may be heading places.
