CLOWNING
jessica aszkenasy: TITCLOWN (workinprog)
One hour of HIGH ART clown genius by a woman with a huge rack and tiny ego.
Titclown (workinprogress) is comedian/clown/tittywoman Jessica Aszkenasy’s debut hour. It’s a mad display of what it’s like to be a woman *making art* under the patriarchy. Or at least that’s what she hopes it will be by the time she takes the show to Edinburgh. Also, it’s not stand up comedy.
Here are some credentials to make you think it might be good:
Having trained at somewhat renowned clown cult/school Ecole Philippe Gaulier where she butted heads with teachers left, right and centre because no-one understood her *art*, Jessica is ready to dazzle the world with her self importance. The show was *birthed* in California, at brilliant performance artist Claire Woolner’s theatre Public Displays of Altadena, and put up for its first ever performance at the Elysian Theatre in Los Angeles. Jessica has been performing regularly on the London comedy circuit since 2019, completed a sold-out run at London’s VAULT Festival and had two fairly middling years at the Edinburgh Fringe.
We encourage patrons to wear a mask while moving around the building and when seated in the theatre.
Seating is not socially distanced. The theatre is ventilated before and after every performance with regular and thorough cleaning of touch points. Hand sanitiser and face masks are available onsite.
Access
We regret that our theatre is up a flight of stairs with no wheelchair access available.
