About this Event
*An offical Tulsa Pride Event!
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

“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.”

"Palatable Gay Robot is a fantastic hour of comedy that does a wonderful job of treading the line between a serious reflection on sexuality and a funny set of standup.”

"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.”
