This event has a 2-drink minimum.

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

“This is some sophisticated writing. It’s not just a stand-up routine, nor is it just a play or a gimmick. Like Billie, Palatable Gay Robot is complex, hilarious, and human." 

–Playbill

"There’s no telling whether it’s societies or entertainment industries that are responsible for the pejorative portrayals of gay men. But there’s no denying that works like these are destined to break this cycle. And it doesn’t hurt that the careful craft behind this piece makes revolution the most fun it can be.”
