October Baby

I really enjoyed this show. I wasn't sure what to expect going into it...with the title OCTOBER BABY I had a few thoughts but man, what a show! Brooke's performance is amazing. I didn't expect to laugh AND cry so much throughout a show! The balance between the heart-break and the comedy is perfectly paced. Definitely a Fringe show not to miss!! ... full review

No one is more obsessed with the month of October than Brooke Baumer. The autumn palette, pumpkin bread, and (oh-my-gawd!) Halloween cause her to squeeeeeeal in delight. Brooke’s also a fanatical planner; so when she decides she wants a second child, why not give birth during her favorite month? Things go pretty well in that direction…until they don’t. A unique (and true) solo show about motherhood and letting go of things that don’t really matter. The story flows with ease and at a good pace. Brooke has great energy and keeps the story moving and kept me on the edge of my seat. (Her story has more change-ups than a MLB pitcher!) And after the laughs come “the feels” so by the end, I had tears in my eyes…in a good way. ... full review

Brooke is a powerhouse! I also loved the portrayal of inanimate objects coming to life. You get behind her goal right away and come along for the ride to it's boisterous conclusion. ... full review

MUST SEE if you've ever struggled with being a control freak! Brooke has deeply processed through the trials and tribulations she has faced in order to grow, expand and surrender to this wild ride called life! Brooke was so fun and bold, yet so deep and connected! Loved watching her and learning her incredible story! I especially enjoyed the fun choreography mid-show that had me hysterically laughing and kinda turned on all at the same time! Brooke was in full command of her performance and keeps you engaged from start to finish. Highly recommend--and FYI...bring tissues!!! It's a tear jerker at times!!!... full review
