Michael has become a must-follow voice in queer comedy thanks to his sharp observations, deeply relatable videos, and his ability to capture the messiness, humor, and contradictions of gay culture. Whether he is skewering dating apps, touring internationally, or turning dumpsters, French onion dip, and therapy into comedy gold, his work resonates because it is honest and very funny.

His stage attire lies somewhere between "androgynous hipster" and "clown," and his only criteria for a premise appears to be "What does my brain fixate on?"

With numerous national appearances on Gotham Comedy Live and FOX, McBee has written for VH1's Hip Hop Honors, MTV's VMAs and The Golden Globes.

Thus far, he has been entirely consumed by examinations of performance-first digging into a pop musician's stratospheric career climb in A Star Is Born, then wrestling with Leonard Bernstein's desire to reimagine classical music in . Both movies were hefty pieces of entertainment, filled with love, death, and grand human experiences. His newest, the fetching
Christopher Titus is a powerful weapon for the forces of progress and humanity. He's genuine, sincere, incredibly funny and boy has he been through it. His everyman, working class image allows him to deliver sharp material about bigotry being idiotic (all forms of bigotry, he gets into details), in a way that those who most need to hear it are likely to hear it without jamming their fingers in their ears while yelling "OH NO!
