Mike Daisey (born 1973 ) is an American actor, author, and monologist.
He has worked as a security officer, web pornsniffer, high school teacher, blood plasma seller, archivist, telemarketer, roofer, cow innard remover, law firm receptionist, cold caller, rape counselor, DJ, freelance writer, accountant, night janitor in a home for the violently mentally ill, and dot-com wage slave. In 1998, Daisey gave up his life of frequenting cafes, temping and participating in small-time theater to join an up-and-coming bookseller called Amazon.com. He left the company in a fit of angst in 2000 in spite of enjoying his position in Business Development.
His most famous work "21 Dog Years" is a satirical account of life as a Amazon.com employee by self-described slacker Mike Daisey, who was recruited though a staffing company in 1998 to work in Customer Service Tier 1. He lives with his director and collaborator, Jean-Michele Gregory, in Brooklyn.
