Event Details
LOVEFOOL
Created by Michael John Ciszewski with Brian Dudley
Directed by Noah Simes
NYC actor and comic Michael John Ciszewski’s LOVEFOOL is a dazzling and deliciously silly romp through his flings, flirtations, and first loves that brims with heart and hilarity. Featuring dazzling and deliciously dumb multimedia outbursts, LOVEFOOL plays like the queer party playlist of your dreams set to shuffle. The show invites audiences to laugh and cry, sing and dance, flirt and fall-in-love along with Michael John as he engages a life-long commitment to unrequited love.
A *very* gay hour that bridges stand-up comedy and confessional, LOVEFOOL has packed raucous, rapt houses in New York City (Asylum NYC), Boston (The Rockwell & New Rep Theatre), and New Jersey (Jersey City Theater Center), earning raves from critics and audiences who call it “exactly the audacious celebration of queer love we need in this moment!” Learn more at xomichaeljohn.com and@xomichaeljohn!

Performer Bio
Michael John Ciszewski (he/him) is a queer actor, writer, and performance artist born, raised, and returned to New York City after launching his career in Boston and London.
Ciszewski’s work as a solo performer is rooted in queer experience and healing, gleefully journeying across genres as sundry as solo theatre, stand-up, storytelling, and ritual. His debut solo show Everyone is Dying and So Am I premiered in July 2019 and has enjoyed sold-out performances in Boston and at New York City’s United Solo Theatre Festival—spotlighting the best in international solo performance—where it was subsequently nominated for the festival’s audience award. His second solo project The Sun is Sleeping, a full-length original film composed in isolation, was screened in virtual theatrical events from late 2020 into 2021 and attended by over 200 people across 5 time zones, with all proceeds compensating a company of collaborators from across the United States. The full project is now available to stream online.
Michael is a member of the staff of ArtsEmerson at Emerson College’s Office of the Arts. He trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and is a proud graduate of Boston University’s B.F.A. Theatre Arts program.
