In 2021, two summer-camp obsessed adults (Jacob Kaplan and Marcus Lustig) hatched a plan to return to their favorite childhood place: organize a stand-up tour and perform at as many Jewish sleepaway camps as would let them. Certain they’d found the perfect scheme to relive their glory days, they set off on an adventure that ended up being more embarrassing and disappointing than they'd anticipated – but it’s a really fun story to tell.

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.

The culmination of over a decade and a half of developing, writing, and performing, the show debuted at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York in 2010, where it was a sold-out smash and the venue’s first-ever magic show.

Kicking things off is none other than SH*TZPROBE!

Sh*tzprobe is a fully improvised musical with a cast that features a Broadway guest star throwing away the script and improvising for the first time. Every song, lyric, line of dialogue and dance move is totally improvised, accompanied by a live band who are also making up everything as they go. Each performance of Sh*tzprobe is the premiere of a never-before-seen musical, and YOU help create it - each show is based on an audience member’s suggestion of a title of a musical that doesn’t yet exist.

THIS WEEKEND 🚻 Fresh from its sold-out Off-Broadway debut and selection as a New York Times’ critic’s pick, Caitlin Cook’s hit bathroom graffiti musical is a comedic, musical, and theatrical sensation.

This is a show for comedy nerds, musical theater kids, art history buffs, and anyone who’s ever seen something written in a bathroom and thought, “I wonder who wrote that?”

Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom—transforms graffiti scrawled all over the stalls into the lyrics of her original songs and trail markers along the journey she takes us upon.

This was your chance. This was the weekend when everything was finally going to click. You were going to find the love of your life, land a six-figure job, and probably get abs…but then you didn’t. Hail Mary is a last ditch effort to save your weekend.
Can we guarantee you’ll find the love of your life at this show? Absolutely.
And somehow I’ll land that six-figure job because of this? Yep!
How will a comedy show get me abs? Laughing is great for the core.
