About Michael Gibbs:

I write things. I perform things. I have a variety of other skills too. I like to get paid for those things and skills. If you're looking to hire someone who's a hard worker, while being a keen comic eye; someone who's somewhat business savvy, but a creative out of the box thinker; or just someone who bears more than a passing resemblance to all of The Beatles - I might just be your man.
