Michael Allen
Comedian, writer, and performance artist, Michael Allen is best known for his surreal character work as GoatVsFish, a fixture in Los Angeles comedy and festival circuits. With a background in sociology and theater, he blends absurdism, satire, and playful audience interaction that are thought-provoking and hilarious.
He has appeared at major venues including The Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, The Ice House, and The Whiskey A Go-Go, and has been seen on America's Got Talent, Kill Tony, Adult Swim and more. His alter ego GoatVsFish is a cult favorite at comedy festivals, comic-cons, podcasts, streaming shows, and in the Punk rock music scene.
Michael taught english in Niigata for two years where he studied Japanese and passed the JLPT level N3. He brings his quick wit and offbeat perspective—sometimes as himself, sometimes as GoatVsFish—making it unpredictable, funny, and uniquely engaging for both Japanese and English learners.
