Billy Butler is an award winning performing artist who has been honing his craft in the backwoods of New England and while most people say he is naturally funny others say looks are not everything. This past year has been riddled with one-man shows for him. The "One-Man Xmas Carol," Hedwig in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" off-Broadway and Harry Chapin's "Cotton Patch Gospel." He looks forward to being onstage with other actors soon. He has performed all over the country in almost every capacity in the industry. He once ran away with the 131st Edition of Ringling Brother's Circus as their Performance Director but then ran away from them to settle back in NH to help mold young minds as Drama Teacher at Portsmouth High School. He was a member of the New Hampshire Educational Theatre Guild where his one act "Weapons of Mass Construction" premiered in their one act festival.

His work has been seen at Seacoast Repertory Theatre, Prescott Park Arts Festival, Ogunquit Playhouse, The Palace Theatre, Hackmatack Playhouse, Rochester Opera House, The Players' Ring, Boston Center for the Arts, Theatre at St. Clements, Edwin Booth Theatre Company, Barnstormers Theatre, Stoneham Theatre, The Music Hall, Firehouse Center for the Arts and Stage One Productions and countless others across the USA. He is also a member of Actor's Equity Association, the union for professional actors and stage managers.

Billy is a writer/performer (emeritus) for the comedy troupe "Rebels Without Applauze" at Improv Boston. He also performed with the improv comedy troupe "Picture This!" at Catch a Rising Star in Boston and New York. He is the front-man and lead guitarist for the band Bitter Billy and plays piano and guitar for Tim McCoy and the Papercuts. He will be workshopping his new musical, "Gay Bride of Frankenstein" this fall in Portsmouth, NH with the new production company, Bitter Theatrix.

He is also in the development phase of producing and directing the off-Broadway premier of NH playwright Lowell Williams', "Six Nights in the Black Belt," the story of NH seminary student Jonathan Daniels martyred during the civil rights movement.
