FORT WAYNE, IN, Nov 05, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Mike The Pike
Productions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MIKP) Concerts/Events Division announces comedian
Greg Warren (www.GregWarrenComedy.com) as the feature for its next show in the
company's Campus Comedy Series. Warren, represented by industry staple, APA
Talent and Literary, grew up in St. Louis Missouri and has captivated audiences
worldwide with anecdotes of his Midwest upbringing. Warren has appeared on
Comedy Central, "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," CMT, BET, "Last Comic
Standing" and Bob and Tom All-Stars, to name a handful and "We're pleased to be
bringing him to Fort Wayne for the Campus Comedy series," states J.T. Tyme,
Promotions VP with Mike the Pike Productions.
"We've teamed up once again with 92.3 'The Fort' (WFWI), Fort Wayne's home for
the Bob and Tom syndicated radio program on which Warren frequently appears,"
Tyme continues. The company recently worked with the Federated Media station on
Comedy Central's Mike Birbiglia 'I'm in the Future Also' Tour at Indiana-Purdue
University Fort Wayne which was a success for all involved. "The Campus Comedy
shows are relatively low cost shows marketed to a niche audience; We sync
on-campus promotions with a targeted campaign via our radio partner(s) for a
rather turnkey event that's good for the comedian, our sponsors, the stations
and Mike The Pike Productions and its shareholders. This particular show has
already been cost-covered 100% in sponsorships even prior to ticket sales...
which is nice."
The company has booked Warren as an 'Off-Campus' University event so as to
welcome colleges regionally to attend on 'neutral' ground. The event will
feature special student pricing and sponsors will be giving out free tanning
coupons, hotel stays, sports supplements & more. The show takes place on
December 2nd at University favorite, YOLO's, the All-Ages side of 21+ club Early
Birds next to the city's Glenbrook Square Mall.
As well, the company will be announcing another event or two before the end of
2009 as it wraps up the year in preparation for "some great acts in 2010,"
states MTP CEO Mark B. Newbauer. "We have been notified by a top agency that MTP
has already been included on routing schedules for two major artists next year.
These are strong artists and we will announce as soon as Tour managers complete
routing for each of them; in the meantime, we're actively discussing with
agents/managers several acts for next quarter and plan for the first large show
to take place in a Top 50 (radio) market. This will be a strong start in our
2010 goal of branching out nationally with shows in the Concerts/Events
Division... and we're doing well in the meantime. Auditions for our
www.IndianasGotTalent.com competition begin this weekend (Nov. 7 &8) and both
dates are completely filled with registrants with the next set of dates filling
up fast. Overall, the next few months will be instrumental in the development of
Mike the Pike Productions as we implement assets and strategies to create
fixtures for multiple streams of revenue.
Note to shareholders and prospective shareholders: MTP Prods has submitted
paperwork to PinkOTC according to its guidelines toward getting listed as
'Limited Information' Tier, which should effect in the very near future.
The company has also given its website a facelift toward at-your-fingertips
accessibility and will continue to grow the site over the next month for a
fully-functional, interactive, user-friendly web headquarters for Mike the Pike
Productions. It will include data capturing, contests, rotating banners and
expedient updates.
