Michael COLYAR’S Momma

Mission Statement

To bring to stage a powerful, healing, funny, loving story about redemption, recovery, family, God and the overwhelming energizing liberating power of our Mothers. It will make you laugh, cry and even cheer with Joy as you walk through the life of a true artist, a funny dude and a passionate loving man who will never give up on Life or You. A man who loves who he looks at in the mirror everyday because of his Mother and God.

“…Oh, My Momma Raised Me Right. I Did Wrong On My Own.”

“Michael Colyar’s Momma” is a dramatic one-man stage show that chronicles the life of comedian Michael Colyar and highlights the importance of the love and support of his Mother as he traverses through a life filled with highs and lows. From his days of making people laugh on Venice Beach, to winning Star Search, to his ugly drug addiction and his triumphant return thanks to his Momma, God and the power of laughter. Michael’s life has taken him on a journey that he is now sharing with the world.

This is NOT a comedy show, but a dramatic look at his life with a whole lotta comedy in the mix. His goal is to share his story…and to show how through determination and hardwork you can come out on the other side and realize your dreams…especially if you keep God first.

By the way, there’s gonna be some cussing! We’re doing a 100 City tour, for information about how to bring this fabulous show to your city, connect below:
