Show #1 in Bridge Street Theatre's SoloFest 2026
Starring Broadway’s Stephen Brower ("Anastasia", "Lempicka", "Pippin"), "Palatable Gay Robot" is fast-paced, razor-sharp 70-minute comedy that introduces Billie Bowtie, a gay robot built to entertain straight audiences. Though designed to deliver “crowd-friendly” humor, Billie quickly realizes his preprogrammed jokes aren’t going to cut it. Enter The Moderator (voiced by Broadway’s Julia Murney), a god-like, omnipresent engineer, who suggests downloading a personal history to humanize Billie’s performance.
What starts as a simple reboot spirals into a journey of self-discovery, as Billie grapples with a corporate world built on heteronormative ideals and an audience intrigued by his more “unpalatable” truths.
​Can Billie stay true to his newfound identity and be a successful product? As he code-switches through gay stereotypes, pop culture references, and every standup trope imaginable, Billie attempts to answer one deceptively simple question: what does it mean to be gay?
With a bold mix of sharp wit, emotional depth, and biting social commentary, "Palatable Gay Robot is one piece of theater you truly won’t want to miss.
