John Michael invites you to the 2019 John Michael convention with one hope goal in mind: to stop doing the things we don’t want to do. Whatever happens, it’s clear to us John Michaels that we need to change our man-child behavior and break the cycle that is John Michael or people will stop coming to our one-man shows. John Michael’s playful, irreverent, immersive show asks you to imagine what it’s like to be John Michael… who is imagining what it’s like to be you.

“If the mention of ‘audience participation’ makes you clench up, we’re here to tell you that John Michael’s Delightful Meatball Séance is going to change your whole theater-going world. It’s joyful, raucous, silly, subversive and powerful.” — Jennifer Davis-Lamm, Dallas Observer
