A Stan Is Born @ The Other Palace

Born in New York City, Alexis follows his family to rural Germany. UGH. Discovering pop divas online is his only salvation. Cline, Whitney, Mariah, Beyonc, Aretha you name em, he got em. With 10 live original songs, Alexis vigorously shares the queer joy in becoming a stan (a super-duper-UBER-fan). But stanning has its limits. Somehow being obsessed with women makes you g-gAy?! News to me Does Alexis have what it takes to stan himself, conquer the German bullies, and find the diva within?? A campy, heartfelt hour of musical comedy. Bo Burnham but GAY! Alexis is a queer international artist born in New York City BUT has Greek/Austrian/Italian roots BUT was raised in Germany, which makes them WHAT? GAY! After training at Mountview Academy, they pivoted into comedy through a serendipitous first gig with Matt Rogers. Past projects include Fleabags first German translation, and theyre developing a musical adaptation of Achilles. Their work is genre-bending and takes inspiration from Cat Cohen, Rachel Bloom and Bo Burnham to bridge the gap between theatre, comedy and music.
