Michael Reddy has performed in many independent films, including the Aria Kalsan: Pearls Before Swine movie. In the Aria Kalsan film, Mike stars as a shady and mysterious character named "West." 

However, not only does Michael Reddy act, but he also writes stories and illustrates underground comics as well.

In the 81st comic, Mike creates funny stories about the daily experiences of his life. Mike, who grew up on the 81st street of Cleveland, illustrates funny and unbelievable happenings from around the town.

One part fiction and one part truth, the humorous comics are always brutally honest. Although the words or actual events have been altered, similar occurrences, thoughts, issues, or dialog did happen...well sort of.

81st is Mike's impression of the underlying issues to the events of his life shaped through his own unique perspective.
