Join New York Comedian/Moth StorySLAM Champ's New Year's Eve celebration, reflection, resolution - in her mental pop-culture/Broadway musical (Swifties enjoy an invisibly-strung Eras tour), Brooke campaigns to lead a better future. Come laugh with Brooke as she trips and falls fighting spacetime continuum, economy, patriarchy and fertility, while trying to get a date.
A nonfiction narrative comedy, “fast-paced, quick-witted stand-up/storytelling mashup” “overflowing with references, humor and insane wordplay:” “witty, relevant, interesting, relatable.”
She’s ready to change her life this New Year’s Day. Ideally, February 2nd.
For lovers of change, time, renewal, resolutions, laughs, loves, musicals, pop culture, Taylor Swift, ridiculously alternative political candidates and anyone who is, or knows someone, exceptional, who is single – join the campaign: brookeforpresident.com
