Bumpsy
Bumpsy is a hallucinatory survival guide for the modern adult who’s pondering: “What happens when the childhood imagination gets an abortion?”
Don’t worry! Bumpsy’s doing her best. She starts every day with morning pages and a light suckle from the titty of her smartphone. Today, she’s searching for enlightenment while dodging her mother’s obsession with being only “five pounds away” from a life that matters.
(Wait… we have to maintain our bodies AND exchange our time for money for… *gestures at everything* this?!)
Mid-scroll, a freak accident turns Bumpsy’s routine into a literal death trap. She's forced to confront if any of this matters while hoping someone’s recording this for content (*fingers crossed*).
Accompanied by a live score and a handcrafted world, Katie Bowman delivers a visceral clown show where the audience is the muse and the protagonist just wants to survive her own funeral.

Written and performed by Katie Bowman, with music by Bryan Richard Martin. Directed by Alice Gillette.
Katie Bowman is a comedic performer and artist based out of Denver. Bowman has been bopping around the Denver comedy scene since 2014 with a background in improv, stand-up, clown, and the visual arts. Bowman has been featured on comedy festivals and podcasts all over the country and released her first comedy special/album with Burn This Records in 2024 titled, Neurodivergent Nightmare. Her album also hit Number 1 on iTunes and Amazon the week it came out.
Alice Gillette (director/outside eye) and Bryan Richard Martin (composer/live scoring) help performers find the specific, visceral inspiration already living inside them. By combining Alice’s consent-forward physical comedy experience with Bryan’s background in multidisciplinary composition, they help performing artists build grounded and layered worlds. Their process relies on helping artists craft a live dialogue between movement and sound onstage using a shorthand they’ve developed at venues like The Elysian (Los Angeles), The People’s Building (Aurora) and The Pig Iron Theatre Company (Philly). Most recently, they collaborated on a national run of Meat Show in Space and founded the Freaky Weeky Clown and Alt-Comedy Festival at Denver’s Buntport Theater. Their individual and collaborative work has been covered by NPR, Vice, and Denver Westword.
