If Memory Serves

ADDITIONAL 2024 PERFORMANCES TO BE ANNOUNCED!


SEX, SOBRIETY, AND PROFOUND STUPIDITY… the horrors are indescribable, but you’ve still got to serve!

And IF MEMORY SERVES, NYC comedian Michael John Ciszewski made a fine, fabulous mess of things before getting sober five years ago. Help him remember all the things he wishes he could forget and make new memories on the scorched earth of a gay youth (quite literally) WASTED!

Michael John remembers everything… from transformative pop culture and hookups with radical leftists to queer villainy and accidental motor vehicle theft. Comedy equals tragedy plus time, right?! RIGHT, and this hour of stand-up is JAM-PACKED with LAUGHS about anxiety, addiction, identity, relationships, self-actualization, and the inexorable march of time! 

Heralded as “absolute gay nonsense,” IF MEMORY SERVES is the brand new, fourth solo hour from “a one-of-a-kind storyteller” that’s earned raves from critics and audiences with “its unmatched blend of pop culture, pathos, and silly queer-assery!” Ciszewski has previously packed raucous, rapt houses in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Provincetown MA, and New Jersey.
