I started this GoFund Me due to the passing of my friend, the great Pete Michaels .

Pete first appeared on stage at the tender age of five. His fascination with music, comedy, puppets, and ventriloquism also began as a child; with his influences being Edgar Bergen, Paul Winchell and Jimmy Nelson. He continued performing during his high school years, often playing the musical comedy leads. An alumnus of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, he furthered his acting studies with Weist-Barron and studied voice with Robert Marks.

He developed his talents further by showcasing his comedy and ventriloquism at numerous venues. Pete continued to perform in Comedy Clubs and on Cruise Ships, quickly gaining wide acclaim and was soon a regular at the world-famous Apollo Theater with his puppet pal; Woody D. The duo performed dozens of television shows, concerts, and special events at the landmark venue

All funds raised will go towards supporting his family during these troubling times, Stacey his wife and her son & daughter.

Please donate whatever you can. There is no amount too small. We are hoping to raise $12000.00 but I think we will do better.


Thank You!
