Again, not really a “place” so much as a back alley.

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

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

I’ve been buying my incense (and occasionally other products) from Shanti Baba since TCL started and I still can’t recommend them enough. I even have one of their discontinued and seemingly indestructible shopping bags to prove it.
