Broadway actor and comedian Stephen Brower brings his hilarious one-person show [Palatable] Gay Robot to The Parkway!
A one-person show that follows Billie Bowtie, a robot programmed to be the perfect perfomer while still remaining "palatable." [Palatable] Gay Robot is equal parts smart and absolutely stupid – and will leave you feeling joyful, inspired, and...a bit more sentient.
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 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.
