Julian Michael's journey began in South Central L.A., where he was deeply involved in the church and initially on a path to becoming a minister. After earning a degree in religion and working in a Southern Baptist Church, Julian experienced a life-altering shift when he moved to New York, came out as gay, and left the ministry behind. Seeking new purpose, he found it in stand-up comedy, starting with open mics and eventually becoming a regular at the Comic Strip in New York. Influenced by comedy figures like Gladys Simon, Kevin Garnier, and Garrett Morris, Julian's background in the church and his understanding of crowd dynamics shape his authentic comedic style. Balancing his creative pursuits in comedy and music, Julian reflects on his journey with honesty, embracing his identity and using humor to make a positive impact.
