Bailey Swilley’s A Baby For Me? No Thank You, Please!

New York based writer, comedian and storyteller Bailey Swilley is performing her hit show A Baby For Me? No Thank You, Please! in Chicago at The Den Theatre on November 21. Comedy meets body horror on AB4MNTYP, fresh off a 2026 NYC Fringe run and upcoming shows at the Soho Playhouse in September and at LA’s Lyric Hyperion in October. Swilley explores the lifelong pressure from friends, family, and strangers to be a mother and how an IUD-related medical emergency made her reflect on the complexities of the choice to be (or not be) a mother.
