Michael Colyar brings his heartfelt and humorous show, “Michael Colyar’s Momma,” to St. Louis, blending comedy, love, and healing in a performance that resonates deeply with audiences.
Veteran comedian and actor Michael Colyar is proving that longevity in entertainment isn’t just about staying relevant—it’s about staying real. Decades into his career, Colyar continues to pack out venues across the country, and now he’s bringing something deeply personal to the stage at Helium Comedy Club with his powerful one-man play, “Michael COLYAR’S Momma.”
This isn’t just another comedy show—it’s a raw, emotional, and hilarious journey through Colyar’s life, faith, struggles, and triumphs. And St. Louis audiences are about to experience it firsthand.
A Living Legend Still Filling Seats
From his early days performing on Venice Beach—where he earned the title “King of Venice Beach” after doing five shows a day for nine straight years—to becoming a household name through television and film, Colyar’s career is a masterclass in perseverance.
Audiences may recognize him from roles in House Party 3, Norbit, Martin, Black-ish, and The Princess and the Frog. But beyond the screen, it’s his authenticity that has kept fans locked in for decades.
When asked what it feels like to still be selling out rooms after all these years, Colyar humbly shared:
“It feels great still being able to do what I love to do. I feel blessed and honored that God still gives me the kind of job to heal other people while I heal myself—and make people continue to laugh while I earn.”
“Michael COLYAR’S Momma”: A Story That Hits Home
At the heart of his current tour is “Michael COLYAR’S Momma,” a one-man play that dives deep into his life story. It’s a bold, layered performance where Colyar takes on 17 different characters—including his mother, father, brothers, versions of himself, and members of his community.
But beyond the laughter lies something deeper.
“It’s about my Momma, who is everything to me. It’s about God. And it’s about my crack addiction,” Colyar revealed. “I did crack for 23 years. Now I have 18 years of sobriety. Everything that happened to me brought me to who I am today.”
The play blends comedy with tragedy, showing the highs and lows of addiction, the pain of loss, and the lessons learned through it all. It’s not just entertainment—it’s testimony.
A Message Bigger Than Comedy
Colyar’s goal isn’t just to make people laugh—it’s to make them feel, think, and leave transformed.
“They’re going to feel the word impossible,” he said. “If you have God in your life, then impossible is just a suggestion. I want people dealing with addiction to know—you can change your life at any moment.”
The show resonates deeply with a wide audience—from those battling addiction to families, especially mothers and grandmothers who see pieces of their own stories reflected on stage.
One of the most emotional moments for Colyar comes every time he speaks about his mother:
“She was always there for us. No matter what, my mom never abandoned us.”
More Than a Show—It’s an Experience
Those attending the St. Louis performance can expect more than jokes—they’ll feel energy, spirit, and connection.
“My energy is always joy. There is always light because I keep God first,” Colyar said. “I exude light at my shows. I’m about giving back with my energy to the people.”
Even during the interview, Colyar had moments of rapid-fire humor that kept me filled with laughter—proving that his stage presence translates effortlessly offstage.
Expanding the Movement
“Michael COLYAR’S Momma” is just the beginning. The show is launching a 100+ city tour, already attracting attention from major television, cable, and streaming networks.
Beyond the stage, Colyar continues to expand his creative reach:
- His children’s book “Little Bobby White” delivers powerful lessons about integrity and making the right choices
- His book “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House” celebrates President Barack Obama
- His audiobook “In the Wet Spot: Blue Erotica” explores a bold mix of erotic comedy and poetry
- And he connects with fans weekly through “The Michael Colyar Morning Show”
A Legacy of Light
When asked how he wants to be remembered, Colyar didn’t hesitate:
“That I brought true joy to the people. If I ever encountered you, you always walked away feeling differently. If all I did was make you laugh, then I failed. My comedy makes you think, feel, and know that you can make it.”

St. Louis is about to witness something special. “Michael COLYAR’S Momma” isn’t just a performance—it’s a life story told with honesty, humor, and heart.
