The TWITS series follows the adventures of Cyril Chippington-Smythe (Michael Urie), the world's richest man, and his mechanical manservant Bentley (Dakin Matthews) as they navigate a dystopian world in search of love and meaning. This is a world in which the great minds that should have discovered electricity went into the restaurant business instead, or decided to chuck the science game because their true passion was stand-up comedy. It is a world of hydrogen, steam-powered servants and factory-made food- in which the privileged few, like Cyril Chippington-Smythe, whose every wish is instantly gratified, have nothing to live for but pleasure... and fashion... and love.
With a brilliant supporting cast of characters played by Christian Borle, Helen Cespedes, Stephen DeRosa, Nick Sullivan, Mary Testa, Kiera Allen, Teddy Yudain, James Monroe Iglehart, Taylor Iman Jones, Ann Harada, Wesley Taylor, Rachel York, Lilli Cooper, Fergie L. Philippe, Nik Walker, and more, narrated by Lillias White, this transporting podcast,, written and created by Tom Alan Robbins, is sure to tickle your fancy.

COMING APRIL 29, 2024
Cyril Chippington-Smythe (Michael Urie) never met a wager he didn't like. When his old friends, Ford (Nik Walker) and Lincoln (James Rana), bet him that he can't survive living like an average citizen named “Johny” for a week he jumps in with both feet and his cousin Binky (Christian Borle) jumps with him. Alas, Bentley (Dakin Matthews) must stay at home or his secret identity will be impossible to conceal. Guided by his grocery delivery-person, Ernie (Fergie L Philippe), Cyril attempts to blend in with the crush of humanity but without Bentley's help he soon finds himself embroiled in one misunderstanding after another.
