the impliers present: MIXED MESSAGES
Jan

to Jan 17

the impliers present: MIXED MESSAGES

Alice Gillette is an immersive actor in MIXED MESSAGES, live at The Bug Theater in Denver, Colorado.

Event description:

Mixed Messages is a 90-minute live multimedia experience built like a puzzle—fusing sketch comedy, original music videos, and surreal storytelling into a single emotional arc. What begins as flipping through a strange, alternate-universe TV service slowly transforms into something deeper. Characters jump between stage and screen, stories echo, and emotional threads quietly tighten.

Featuring unreleased music and video you won’t find anywhere else, the show delivers a one-night-only experience that’s funny, raw, and emotionally disorienting in the best way—exploring the thrill of love, the ache of miscommunication, and the patterns we can’t seem to break.

You’ll want to see it again the moment it’s over.

TWO NIGHTS: Jan. 16 + Jan 17.

Meat Show in Space (DUMB HUB @ Philly Fringe) - Night 3

  • Pig Iron Theatre Company (Philadelphia, PA) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Meat Show in Space is a subversive clown odyssey crashing into the Philly Fringe Festival as part of Dumb Hub.

Created & performed by Alice Gillette, this one-woman solo show follows a trash-collecting astronaut in a cracked helmet, desperately pleading with the stars (played by the audience) for one more wish: to be remembered as a hero with a girlfriend & not just as useless space junk.

It's a ridiculous, emotional & weirdly tender experience, like Wrestlemania meets The Truman Show meets Toy Story … in zero gravity.


Equal parts surreal & sincere, Meat Show in Space is a lo-fi hero’s journey that features live music, middle fingers to “Big NASA” & diabolical emotional depth. The show puts big feelings in a spacesuit & watches them explode.

Meat Show in Space (Denver Fringe Festival)

Meat Show in Space (Denver Fringe Festival)

On his first day aboard a trash-collecting space station under NASA’s iron grip, Meat Show cracks his helmet during his inaugural space walk— what a butterfingers! With oxygen running low and a final wish on his lips, he pleads with the audience (aka "the stars") for one last chance to return to his beloved, earthly Babe as a high-value hero.

While gasping for air (and for more wishes), Meat Show begins to realize that true love might cost him everything.

In this unhinged twist on Aesop’s Fables, Meat Show must decide if the power of authentic connection is worth defying a system that will stop at nothing to keep him in line. Fueled by a live, pulsating score, Meat Show’s odyssey through the cosmos challenges all Earthlings to ask: why does all of this matter… matter?

Blending incisive social commentary with offbeat clowning, Meat Show in Space is a subversive, post-apocalyptic alt-comedy that’s as absurd as it is sincere.
