We kindly request that journalists approach Mikko’s personal story with the utmost care and respect. While Mikko’s performances are lighthearted and humorous, his journey through alcoholism, homelessness, and recovery is an extremely fragile and painful part of his life. We ask that interviewers strike a balance between his comedic side and the deeply emotional aspects of his story. Mikko is open to sharing his experiences to inspire others, but we kindly ask for sensitivity in how these topics are approached. His personal story is a testament to resilience, and it’s important that this is conveyed respectfully, without overshadowing the joy and laughter he brings to his performances.
