If you have been waiting to catch Mike Stanley, pretty accurately described at his website as “wry, witty, cunning and crass,” now’s your chance. He’s booked Friday and Saturday at the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase.

Stanley’s origins are from the Metro Detroit area, although he’s more of a Chicago guy now, at least when he’s not touring. He was named “Best Chicago Stand-up Comedian” in a People’s Choice poll done by the Chicago Reader and ranked in the Top 10 of the best comedians in Chicago by a poll on Comedy.com. Last year he won the "Last Comic Still Standing " competition in Rochester, N.Y., and placed in the top three of “Michigan’s Up and Comers.”

Stanley has a knack for breaking down day-to-day subjects with a keen wit, and he drives his points home fearlessly. Beware, if that kind of thing offends, that salty language sometimes peppers his act.

Mike Stanley performs at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 12-13, at Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, 314 E. Liberty St. Tickets are $10-$12. Details at www.aacomedy.com or 734-996-9080.
