2007-10-17 11:02:57 Thank You New York City! Billy The Mime's 6 week run in New York City was a triumph!“Hilarious! Off-the-wall! A winner! Reinvigorates the form with impunity and audacity! The Marcel Marceau for Generation Y!” New York Post "With graceful gestures and dark humor, Billy brings entire eras and dramas to life! He is a true talent and a skilled jester; mime skeptics may well be converted!" The New Yorker “Daring! Dazzling! Entertaining!” New York Times “Hysterical! Funny! Beautiful! Disturbing! Demands attention!” Variety “Armed with the sensibility of a deranged Durang, the skillful Billy works the line between pathos and schadenfreude so deftly you may leave the theater laughing at your own misfortune…. achieves something rare and strange that goes beyond harvesting guffaws from the tension between form and content… it's fascinating to see how much history he can distill into a gesture!” The Village Voice “Billy the Mime’s AmericaLoveSexDeath bursts with tales as richly layered as Shakespeare, all derived from contemporary events and themes.” New York Press “Ground breaking! Macabre, highly disturbing, and wickedly provocative! I can absolutely recommend seeing this show!” Theatermania.com “Movement–based theatre for the Daily Show sensibility! Astounding! This is truly a very special experience by an exquisite performer! It absolutely should not be missed!” NewYorkTheater.com “Simultaneously amuses and disturbs!” Backstage East “Shocks his audiences deaf, dumb and blind with his politically charged, over-the-cliff routines!” TheaterNews Online “Powerful and compelling theater! Billy is an artist in amazing control of his technique and his material… conveys a drama and power that can take your breath away! Remarkable! This is mime as it can be, but, alas, virtually never is. This is a piece that deserves to be seen!” GC News New York “Does what good performance art should do: educate, entertain and inspire! Marcel Marceau eat your heart out!” New York Cool “Ribald, imaginative and ballsy, Billy brings a post-modern sensibility to the maligned art form!” The Gothamist Billy returns to Upright Citizens Brigade Theater Los Angeles: Friday Nov 16th - 8 PM http://www.ucbtheatre.com/la/ |

2007-08-13 10:17:48 The Flea Theater NYC Aug 23 - Sept. 29 FLEA THEATERKICKS OFF ITS SEASON WITH BILLY THE MIME in AMERICA LOVESEXDEATH Performances Run August 23rd – September 29th Only! The Flea Theater (Jim Simpson, Artistic Director/Carol Ostrow, Producing Director) will present AMERICA LOVESEXDEATH, created and performed by the internationally acclaimed Billy The Mime, beginning performances August 23rd for a limited engagement. AMERICA LOVESEXDEATH will be the first play of The Flea’s 2007 – ‘08 season. Opening night is set for September 6th. Billy The Mime garnered international attention with his show-stopping appearance in the hit documentary The Aristocrats. Billy has rejuvenated an art form that has been justly ridiculed due to untrained and amateur practitioners, and he has restored its ability to entertain, amuse, shock, and move an audience. AMERICA LOVESEXDEATH will tackle controversial subject matter with such routines as “JFK JR. We Hardly Knew Ye,” “Close To Her: Karen Carpenter,” “Slave!,” “World War II,” “Thomas & Sally: A Night at Monticello,” “The Priest and The Altar Boy,” “The Abortion,” “Terry Schiavo, Adieu,” “A Night in San Francisco - 1979,” “A Day Called 9/11,” “Kurt Cobain: Why?,” “Christopher Reeve: A Super Man,” “Love & Death: OJ and Nicole,” “A Night with Jeffrey Dahmer” and “Virginia Tech 4/16/07.” His appearance in the NY Fringe Festival 2006 played to sold-out houses and garnered rave reviews, such as: “Funny! Twisted! Chilling!” by The New York Times and “Astonishingly creative and hilariously lewd!” by The New York Post. He returned to New York for a Fringe Encore Best of the Festival at the Lion Theater at Theater Row. Billy presented five sold-out shows at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in 2006 and recently appeared at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in LA and NYC. Billy's television appearances include “The Jimmy Kimmel Show” on ABC and Penn & Teller's “Bulls**t!” on Showtime. AMERICA LOVESEXDEATH features set design by Kyle Chepulis, lighting design by Brian Aldous, costume design by Eleni J. Christou, and graphic design by David Prittie. Artistic Director Jim Simpson explains “Billy The Mime is The Flea - controversial, political and fearless. Not your average mime and the perfect opener for The Flea's fall season.” The Flea Theater is one of New York's leading off-off-Broadway companies, and has been honored with a Special Drama Desk Award, Obie Awards and an Otto Award for political theater. The Flea has presented over 80 plays and numerous dance and live music performances since its inception in 1996. Past productions include the premieres of Anne Nelson's The Guys, four plays by A.R. Gurney (Post Mortem, O Jerusalem, Screenplay, and Mrs. Farnsworth), Mac Wellman’s Cellophane and Two September, Roger Rosenblatt's Ashley Montana Goes Ashore..., Kate Robin's The Light Outside, Elizabeth Swados' JABU, Karen Finley's Return of the Chocolate Smeared Woman, Yussef El Guindi's Back of the Throat, and Julian Sheppard’s Los Angeles. Performances which run from August 23 through September 29, will be Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 7:00PM, Thursday through Saturday at 7 PM and 10 PM at the Flea Theater (41 White Street, between Church and Broadway. Tickets for AMERICA LOVESEXDEATH will be $35 Tuesday through Thursday, $40 Friday and Saturday. For tickets, visit www.theflea.org or call 212-352-3101. |

Look what THE NEW YORK TIMES said: “Billy the Mime is, to put it mildly, not for everyone. But in today’s theater scene, which so frequently tries and fails to provoke, it is impressive to see a savvy artist shock an audience into gales of laughter and then stun it into silence — all without saying a word … A different kind of mime: politically incorrect, shockingly unsentimental and as uncomfortably funny as a dirty joke in church. Sardonically twisted … Skillfully obscene … Chilling … superbly trained physical comedian … a reminder of how effective the great silent performers were in their ability to cut directly to the heart of a scene, something Billy the Mime also accomplishes superbly … particularly eloquent with comedy and horror, two areas in which the theater often lags behind film. When was the last play you saw that was really scary or made you explode in belly laughs?” |
