Michael John and Friends

Funny AND hot? IS IT POSSIBLE? Your favorite gay guy’s favorite gay guy, Michael John Ciszewski (IF MEMORY SERVES, Edinburgh Fringe), hosts a new comedy show featuring the HOTTEST up-and-coming NYC COMEDIANS who answer the call with a resounding, “YES, IDIOT!” But are they good people? Who cares.

Ciszewski has been heralded as “a whip smart comic [who] holds the room like putty” (BingeFringe) and takes the Rodney’s stage fresh off sell-out NYC and Philly runs of his hit solo hour IF MEMORY SERVES. He has bravely researched the intersection of funny and hot in places near (Bowery Ballroom, The PIT, Asylum NYC) and far (Edinburgh, Boston, Fort Lauderdale). Along the way, he’s earned accolades including a Queer Performer’s Award Nomination at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe—where his show was named the #50 Top Show out of 3600!—and raves from critics and audiences alike for his “perfectly pitched and highly personal standup, superbly written and immaculately performed” (EdFringe.com).

MICHAEL JOHN AND FRIENDS is produced by Jen Beck (Edinburgh Fringe, Stand Up NY). Additional producing is by Brian Dudley (LOVEFOOL, NYC Fringe).
