About the Show

Mike King, son of Sid King, fondly reminisces on the highlights of growing up the son of a legend.

What’s it like to be the son of Sid King, the “Sultan of Burlesque”? In his 70 minute solo show, Mike King, “The Fifth Dentist”, is more than happy to tell you. Originally from Denver, Mike is a pediatric dentist in NYC by day and a comedian by night. This is the story of one man's love for his father regardless of what his Orthodox Jewish family may think of his father's career choices. Mike King (“Dr. Mike”) has been a comedian for decades. He has appeared on Comedy Central, America’s Funniest Home Videos, and was a regular opener for Ray Romano.
