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 everything he wishes he could forget—from transformative pop culture and hookups with radical leftists to queer villainy and accidental car theft. Make new memories on the scorched earth of a gay youth quite literally WASTED in this hilarious and searingly honest hour of comedy JAM-PACKED with LAUGHS about anxiety, identity, relationships, and the inscrutable conundrum of existence!

Heralded as “absolute gay nonsense” and “hilarious and brutally honest,” 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.
