Margate Fringe Festival presents: 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. \- This show is part of the Margate Fringe Festival 2025.
