Tickets: 10-13


Following sold-out EdFringe runs/world tour, rising comedic talent Brooke’s infectious energy crafts a celebration of indomitable human spirit.

NY Comedian/Moth StorySLAM Champion Brooke’s a former literal child. Solo shows? Allegedly three-act navel gazes. So Brooke wrote one. She’s had three. Acts. And belly buttons.

Wry humor. Poetic firepower. Nonfiction narrative comedy. Award-winning storytelling. Razor-sharp wit. Vulnerable performance strikes unforgettable cord.

Circumstances unique, story universal. A quest to determine one’s place in the circle of life.

A multi-arc/act coming-of-age story dissects identities. Inherited. Outgrown. And of course, belly buttons.
