Creation Nation: A Live Talk Show is a unique comedy event; a socio-political variety show with comedy sketches, stand-up, original musical numbers, filmed segments, and a live interview with a special celebrity guest. It is an exciting and unpredictable experience, and constantly changing to reflect current cultural and political trends. No two shows are alike.
The show was created by Billy Eichner with assistance from Robin Taylor in the summer of 2003 and has since played various venues throughout New York City including the Ars Nova theater, the Lounge@Elmo, the Apocalypse Lounge, Dekk, The Tank, Chashama, and more. The show is hosted by Billy Willing and Robin Lord, as played by Eichner and Taylor, respectively, and features musical director Eli Bolin at the keyboard with Lee Overtree on drums. It is currently produced by Ars Nova and Sam Forman and directed by Benjamin Salka.
