“Exquisite clowning. A riotous exploration of new motherhood.”
— what the fringe?!
Anne Zander(she/her/hers) is a queer, neurodivergent mother, actor, clown, and solo-character creator with an MA in physical, devised theatre (Theatre Lab) from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Enter the afterbirth at MOTHER, a Postpartum Comedy!
Portland’s powerhouse of physical comedy packs every joyous and painful moment of new motherhood into her “raw and primal and side-splittingly funny”* solo hour.
Anne Zanderis a “master of physical comedy,”* a real-life mother of twins, and a clownon a mission to bring people out of the dark corners of isolation into the cathartic light of shared laughter.
Called “poignant,” “sexy,” “genius,” and “hysterical” by audiences from New York to LA and Denver to Vegas, this outrageous, wet and messy postpartum comedy is darkly hilarious, yet undeniably familiar to anyone who has ever given birth. Only an artist as “completely ridiculous [and] completely vulnerable”* as Anne Zander could lay out postpartum in its unbearable rawness AND make you laugh until you pee a little (or a lot, no pelvic floor judgment here).
