Baby Everything

About the Show

Have you seen the news today? Isn’t it awful? Is now the best or worst time to be alive? In all of human history? Are you going blind? Maybe you should go to Italy? Will you feel better if you meet a friend for coffee? Should you stop talking to your mom about politics? Should you be the great witness to all the world’s suffering? How much do you really want to see? Everything? Are you sure?

Lee Minora, the writer/performer of Nosejob and White Feminist, brings her hit Fringe Festival show, Baby Everything, to the FringeArts stage. This reimagined production invites you to spend a revelatory day in the life of Baby as she tries to stay sane in a world where suffering comes at you faster than you can refresh your feed. Follow her into the ultimate doomscroll in this hilarious, incisive, and savage solo show.

You’ll laugh. You’ll flinch. You’ll feel seen—too seen.

“Minora stands out on Philly’s solo clown scene for sharp writing combined with physical performance and consummate interactive improv.” —BSR
