Does God take calls from gay guys!? NYC comedian and award-thirsty Fringe favourite Michael John Ciszewski is on the line, desperate to make his mother proud of him. Join him in the ultimate act of diva worship: an attempt to canonize his mother as an immortal saint in one hour – of comedy. Will THAT do? Does the Pope shit in the woods!! Mother, Superior is a sacrilegious, sentimental solo spectacular from 'a whip-smart comic' (BingeFringe.com) that's brave enough to ask whether our parents would rather we book a Netflix special or return their calls.
