Tickets On Sale For Michael Oluokun's HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT
Performances run April 29 - May 16, 2026.
The Bushwick Starr will present the world premiere of HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT, written and performed by comedian Michael Oluokun, and directed by Andrew Scoville (Theater of the Mind with David Byrne & Mala Gaonkar and Here Lies Love Assoc. Director on Broadway). Performances run April 29 - May 16, 2026.
A mad scientist named Michael presents a workshop on "thinking about", a technique for untethering yourself from linear thought and expanding your mind's ideation possibilities. Using notebooks and a whiteboard as a guide, Michael and the audience become co-conspirators in the creation of comedic chaos. Through a series of jokes, crowd games, monologues, creative exercises and real time “thought experiments”, Michael leads the audience down a winding road of absurdist and associative thought that brings us back to what really matters: our connection to ourselves and the people around us.
