PODTALK INTRO: John Michael is a 27-year-old, Texas-born performer whose specialty is the one-man show. His spin is audience participation, as he tells his life stories in his one-of-a-kind whirling dervish style. He hit Chicago with a show he developed in his native Dallas, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Penix,” about Michael negotiating his dating life. His follow-up, which was developed in Chicago, was “Dementia Me” – a chronicle of his two-year period keeping up with dementia patients as he worked at a Dallas care facility. His latest show is “Meatball Seance.” The podcast has a few bad words in it, as a warning, all spoken by John Michael. Listen now to our podcast interview below!

John Michael’s “Meatball Seance” takes place every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. through April 6, 2017 at the Mary’s Attic cabaret at 5400 N. Clark St. in Chicago. Click here [21] for more details, including ticket information. Featuring monologist John Michael. Directed by Janet Howe.
