PUBLIC SPEAKING

LECTURES

Mike Tells the Stories of Houston & Texas 

​With decades of experience as a TV and radio personality, actor and stand up comedian, you can rest assured that Mike Vance is a master storyteller, not a dry academic. He has been lecturing about state and local history topics for well over a dozen years. From Rice University's Glasscock School of Continuing Studies to heritage organizations  to independent living communities, audiences enjoy learning and laughing. A list of current lecture topics is below. Most lectures are designed to run 45 minutes to an hour, but some have shorter versions. The ones marked run slightly more than an hour long, sometimes up to 80 minutes. Mike is happy to come speak to your group in person or via Zoom. A fee will apply.
