Mike Young is giving back
to the city that helped
launch his entertainment career.
Young, who has performed with
comedy veterans like Bob Saget, Dave
Chappelle and Joe Rogan, and often
returns home when on "The Young
American Comedy Tour," is using the
sale of his new DVD documentary to
support the Detroit nonprofit group
Summer in the City.

titled Things I Wish I Didn't Know,
will go to Summer in the City, an
organization led by Red Thread
columnist Ben Falik, that focuses
on beautifying neglected areas of
Detroit neighborhoods.
"Mike is hilarious and generous. I
would encourage everyone to buy his
DVD, even if they don't have a DVD
player," Falik said. "And, of course,
come see the proceeds in action this
summer. You might even get to paint
a mural with Mike."
Summer in the City brings a
diverse group of volunteers together

"The arts have always been very

history that needs to be preserved,
and Summer in the City is doing just
that with its murals."
