My Favorite Shapes by Julio Torres

Comedy • Unrated • Directed by: Dave McCary • 57 minutes

Comedian and "Space Prince" Julio Torres (HBO's "Los Espookys"; "Saturday Night Live") headlines his first hour-long comedy special on HBO. Taped before a live audience at Elsewhere in Brooklyn, this multimedia comedy show finds Torres exploring his favorite shapes, which include a plexiglass square, a triangle, an oval that wishes he were a circle, a self-conscious cactus and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate that Julio is mad at because she left her little skirt at home. The objects are presented via an industrial conveyer belt and serve as a jumping-off point for fantastical stories, anecdotes and jokes.
