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.

Recently hand picked by Fred Armisen to be his opener, Josh Weller is a failed musician turned comedian, viral content maker, comic book author and podcast host. He was born in England, raised in Malaysia and now lives in London.

As seen on ITV2 Stand Up Sketch Show, Weller’s high energy brand of cleverly self-deprecating stand-up landed him on pro bills after just one year on the circuit. In addition to his live comedy work, Josh has developed a loyal fanbase for his viral musical videos and online content, with views in the millions which includes mockumentaries, sketches, professional trolling, animated stand-up comedy shorts, character work, and more. His 2020 mockumentary ‘The U2 Taken Paradox’ has had over a million views and angered legions of loyal U2 fans.

This is a work-in-progress show.

The Elvis of comedy is back, with something not finished. I’m trying stuff out for a potential new show. I don’t know what it is yet. It might never be finished. I’ll do what I want quite honestly and it’s on you if the wheels come off. And they will come off. I intend to make them come off. You just watch those wheels come off.

‘majestic and challenging.’
