Mike Yard is an American, Brooklyn-based Stand-up Comedian. He became a well-known presence on the comedy circuit when he started as a correspondent on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and became a regular on Comedy Central’s stand-up. On The Nightly Show, he became known as one of the show’s leading contributors, serving as a comic “foil” to host Larry Wilmore, and for his role in political skits such as his portrayal of a talking gun named “Hand Gun” and his recurring “Y Files” segments parodying conspiracy theories. He also has his own podcast called Yard Talk.

In 2018, Yard joined the cast of American Public Media’s radio program Live From Here. He was a winner of Comedy Central’s Get Up, Stand Up comedy competition and now hosts the podcast: “Yard Talk with Mike Yard.” He’s appeared on ComicView, Def Comedy Jam and Comedy at the Apollo.
