Stephen Brower: Palatable Gay Robot

Thursday, September 26, 2024 at 7:15 p.m.

Tickets: $20 - $35

Funny, fantastic, and completely unique.

Meet HumaVibe's latest device, Billie Bowtie. Programmed to be the perfect performer, Billie must entertain the audience while remaining “palatable.” But when his material grows rusty, Billie downloads a personal history that leads to some unsettling questions. Which parts of ourselves are we willing to hide? How gay is too gay? And is San Diego-style hip-hop really a f***ing thing? With growing pressure from the Moderator to suppress his sentience, Billie glitches through standup, characters, song, dance, and storytelling to land in a place of true humanity.

Palatable Gay Robot is equal parts smart and absolutely stupid. Broadway actor and comedian, Stephen Brower, will leave you feeling joyful, inspired, and…a bit more sentient.

Starring Stephen Brower

Directed by Zachary Prince

Produced by Alan Kliffer
