Who is Mike E Winfield?

Originally from Baltimore, MD, Winfield moved to California to pursue a career in comedy and also to escape Baltimore's hard life. Aside from dabbling in stand-up comedy, Winfield also has a few acting credits to his name. According to his website, he appeared on 'The Late Show with David Letterman', had a recurring role on 'The Office', 'Nrad Paisley's Comedy Rodeo' on Netflix, and even an Emmy nomination!

While his career was beginning to take off, he fell in love with a much older woman with a child and married her. "That was actually the problem, he wasn’t ready to be a husband, so he made many mistakes within the marriage. He has since learned & developed a bond with his stepson, whom he jokingly refers to as StepMAN because they’re close in age. He takes his ups & downs in his life & marriage & turns them into jewels he releases on stage." 

Winfield often jokes about the age difference between his wife and him and his relationship with his stepson, who he refers to as 'StepMAN' in his sets. We can't wait to watch Winfield on 'AGT' Season 17.
