From ASBOs to superheroes...Misfits follows five teenagers on community service who get caught in a freak storm and develop superpowers. Hard-as-nails Kelly can suddenly hear people's thoughts, shamed sporting star Curtis discovers he has the ability to turn back time when he regrets something, party girl Alisa can send people into a sexual frenzy when they touch her skin, Rudy can split into two people and painfully shy Simon can make himself invisible when he feels he's being ignored. These aren't your conventional superheroes with capes and tights. Our misfits have ankle tags and criminal records, and soon discover what a nightmare life can be when you're lumbered with a super power you don't want...Full-colour and brimming with never-seen-before photos and too-rude-for-TV cartoons and illustrations, this book will provide you with everything you ever wanted to know about MISFITS but were too afraid you'd get headbutted to ask.
Mike studied theatre at Trinity College Dublin, during which time he wrote and performed with the award-winning comedy group H-BAM. He went on to study television at the National Film and Television School and his graduation piece Not Safe for Work (starring Amanda Fairbank-Hynes, Greg McHugh, Harry Enfield & Henry Lloyd-Hughes) won him a Royal Television Society student award.
After a short stint writing scripts for online marketing campaigns for clients such as the WWF (the nature folk, not the wrestling), Mike went to work for Misfits Online. The work he did for the transmedia content on series 2 & 3 earned him a BAFTA nomination in 2012 and he has just completed the upcoming online series, Misfits: Strung Out.
Currently Mike is part of the writing team for Misfits series 5 alongside which he is developing a new stage play, Savage, and an original TV project.
He is also the author of the forthcoming Misfits book.
