High Risk, Baby!

Fresh from the Asheville Fringe Festival, Shelby Hofer brings this award-winning comedy back to the intimate PushPush stage for a series of shows over the Mother's Day weekend.  The experience (and it is an experience) includes a mimosa or mocktail and a specially curated box of Mother's Day-themed delights. If you or someone you know has considered or been through an experience like IVF, you don't want to miss this performance!

ABOUT THIS SHOW: Lenora is on a mission, but her not-so-inner child is bursting with irreverent questions about sex, DNA, ADD, boners, and babies — where they come from, how they get here, and mostly, how she can get one. With maddening advice from her sex-ed teacher, a mysterious doctor, and a bunch of ill-mannered dolls, Lenora and Honey are propelled from the motorcycle to a train on an outrageous adventure to Ukraine. A comedic rollercoaster about taking big chances, even if they fail, High Risk, Baby! Is an autobiofictional tale about one woman’s epic journey to motherhood.
