The Brilliance of Broken Glass: Button
Following sold-out Edinburgh Fringe runs and world tour, rising comedic star Brooke returns again to the Fringe with her new show The Brilliance of Broken Glass: Button!
About The Brilliance of Broken Glass: Button
Following sold-out EdFringe runs/world tour/Off-Broadway preview, 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.
