Geoffrey Michael Geier, known as Big Mike Geier (height: 6'8"), is a singer, entertainer, composer, and leader of the band Kingsized, which is based in Atlanta, GA. His most critically acclaimed act is his alter ego: a Pagliacci-type clown named Puddles Pity Party.

In the early 1990s, Geier led a touring "Swing Noir" band, The Useless Playboys, before settling in Atlanta in 1995. Around this time, he started up an Elvis tribute band, Kingsized. Several years into Kingsized, he began experimenting with a clown-themed side project called Greasepaint, which laid the foundation for his later alter ego, Puddles.
