Bill Santiago Presents THE IMMACULATE BIG BANG

Not only does Comedy Central comedian Bill Santiago take on his two favorite frenemies, Religion and Science , in his new show, "The Immaculate Big Bang," but he launches into the audacious material from a poignant narrative framed by the death of his father and subsequent birth of his daughter . Yeah, it's ambitious. And, wait for it... hilarious.

Santiago swings for the existential fences, delivering a show drawing critical acclaim.

"Bill Santiago's comic monologue is so much better than the rest of the stand-up I've seen at this year's (Vancouver) Fringe that he makes the other guys look like they're sitting down," praised theater critic Colin Thomas.

And Amy Kotkin of the DC Metro Weekly, assures, " No cosmic question is too challenging to escape the laser wit of Bill Santiago. Santiago's musings are impeccably connected, providing us with insights that penetrate, sting, enlighten and amuse in this provocative and funny one-man show."

Now @ Q.E.D. Astoria EVERY MONTH (4th Mondays)

After a tour-de-force performance of "The Immaculate Big Bang," last year at the Q.E.D. Astoria, one of New York City's premiere boutique performance spaces, Santiago returns in 2018 to call the venue home for his passion project with monthly shows throughout the year.

Now you can join the growing flock of Big Bang converts every fourth Monday at Q.E.D. Astoria , where Santiago plans to, "keep developing the show, adding bells and whistles. I'm not entirely opposed to a quantum burlesque number. How about a Shrodinger's strip tease where the dancers are both dressed and naked simultaneously?"

Sparked by the death of his father and birth of his daughter, Comedy Central Comedian Bill Santiago goes in search of answers and laughs at the border of science and religion, exploring the comic nature of the cosmic quest for understanding existence, life, death and the number 33 (not necessarily in that order).

In "The Immaculate Big Bang," which he wrote and performs, Santiago ruminates across a philosophical spectrum ranging from quantum physics to Catholicism, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to Islamic images of Paradise, as he probes under the hood of science and belief and discovers both their profundities and absurdities.

Along the way, he explores the existential properties of Dr. Seuss' immortal Green Eggs and Ham, the concept of parthenogenesis as a possible explanation for the virgin birth, and the apotheosis of Apple products.

" All of us experience life cycle events that make us pause and contemplate," notes theater critic Amy Kotkin. "But few of us have the talent to either pen such an exquisite show, or perform it with poise, terrific timing, and gravitas. Fortunately for us, Bill Santiago has the chops to do both. You will never have a better time musing on the nature of life."

Equal parts linguist, journalist and wise ass, Bill Santiago is a master at delivering laughs that tickle your brain as well as your funny bone. "Like George Carlin in his prime, Santiago is expert at honing in on the way language reveals society's bizarre fixations." - San Francisco Examiner.

He's had specials on Comedy Central and Showtime , lost track of his appearances on CNN , is a former journalist (contributing to the New York Times and Washington Post ), the author of " Pardon My Spanglish ," has numerous albums on Apple Music and Spotify and he's currently touring his show, "The Immaculate Big Bang." Most recently, he is proud to announce the ICO of his new cryptocurrency: Santicoin.
