Bi-Poseur

Bi-Poseur returns to Stage Werx Theatre for one more night after its triumphant sold out premiere!

Bi-Poseur
Written/Performed by Paolo Sambrano
Directed by W. Kamau Bell

Paolo thinks he's going to die. And not just quietly in his sleep when he's 87 either. He's convinced that the blood clot in his leg is going to make its way into his chest, causing a major heart attack, which would kill Paolo instantly at his desk, while he was updating his status on Facebook. And this is all assuming that Paolo doesn't kill himself first. Either by finally manning up and slitting his wrists (just making sure to avoid the tendons to retain use of his hands if he screws up) or maybe jumping in front of a BART train (although he doesn't wanna be remembered as the ass who got the trains delayed.) If you don't think that's dark enough, today is the day his mom died, fourteen years ago. Paolo's going to visit her grave, to sort out all this cosmic screwing around. What's someone who might be bi-polar to do? You'll feel horrible for laughing at Bi-Poseur, but that's standard operating procedure. It's the funniest exploration of suicide, mental illness, and dead parents in recent memory.

Bi-Poseur is proudly directed by the indomitable W. Kamau Bell (Of The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About An Hour fame and directing Enzo Lombard's Love Humiliation & Karaoke and Jennifer Jajeh's I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I'm Afraid to Tell You fame.)
