Big Mike Geier (born March 12, 1964) is an Atlanta, Georgia based singer, entertainer and leader of the band Kingsized.

Puddles Pity Party is a persona created by Geier known for appearing in several viral videos on YouTube since 2013, most notably with Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. Most of the songs he performs are covers of recent hits. Puddles Pity Party is noted for his distinctive whiteface clown costume, baritone singing voice, not speaking on stage or in interviews, and his unusual height of 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m).

Puddles Pity Party performed in Aqua Teen Hunger Force's 2010 tour. In 2011 he regularly appeared in vaudevillian cabaret at Teatro ZinZanni. In 2013, he opened for Eels during their U.S. and European tour. In October 2013, he recorded a cover of Lorde's "Royals" with Postmodern Jukebox on YouTube. As of June 2017 the video has received over 19 million hits. Puddles has collaborated with Bradlee on YouTube several times since. Since 2014 he has toured the world, with concerts in the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium and Australia.
