Cleveland comic needs good vibes

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on September 30th, 2010

Mike Veneman is professional comedian who is based in Cleveland. He’s been around for over two decades and is also the creator of Comedy 101, a course in standup. He is extremely ill, however, and is battling ALS, more commonly known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”

His recent Facebook status is a cause for concern:

I am going into the hospital to have a feeding and breathing tube installed. Hopefully this will keep me going a little while longer. I or Cris will keep you posted. Love ya all.

He and his wife, Cris, could use some positive thoughts, some well-wishing. Click on the Facebook links above if you have a spare moment, maybe hit the friend request if you aren’t a friend already, and let them know we’re thinking of them.
