SOBRIETY, SEX, 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 mess of things before getting sober.
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,” 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!” This August, IF MEMORY SERVES will play a full run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Just the Tonic, one of the UK’s leading comedy presenters.
Ciszewski returns to The PIT after packing the house with his smash hit touring comedy LOVEFOOL and recurring standup shows SOBER! CURIOUS? and SAINT PATRICK’S SAFE SPACE.
IF MEMORY SERVES is directed by Noah Simes (Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare, The Penumbra Podcast).
