Does God take calls from gay guys!?
NYC comedian and award-thirsty homosexual 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 sh*t in the woods!!
Part comedy special, part storytelling séance, part unholy game show, MOTHER, SUPERIOR sees Michael John plead his case before God, the Vatican, and a congregation of audience members—one sacrilegious story and profane pop culture reference at a time.
MOTHER, SUPERIOR is a celebration of the messy ways we build our own legacies and a reclamation of religious ritual that asks the ultimate question: would our parents rather we book a Netflix special, or simply return their calls?
