What an amazing show full of powerhouse intersectional women! What better way to address such a prevalent topic and complex epidemic through comedy and Caberet like sketches.

Utterly BRILLIANT: an absolute must see for Fringe 2015.

The Others Theater Company returns to Hollywood Fringe this year with Smile, Baby – a smart and often hilarious show about the decidedly unfunny topic of street harassment. Through a brisk and breezy 50 minutes, the audience is presented with a multitude of sketches that highlight the damaging implications behind a simple “smile, baby.” While it appropriately addresses the seriousness of harassment, the show never forgets that its primary objective is to entertain.
One memorable sketch – the fashion show – teaches women how to dress to in a way that will repel men...

Absolutely loved Smile, Baby! The opening monologue was so good it hit a little too close to home :-) and I loved the made up boyfriend, Brick. Great job, I talked about the show at Fringe Central to everyone. ...
