Enter the afterbirth at Anne Zander is MOTHER, a postpartum comedy! From the mind that created the “painfully funny”* smash-hit JUICEBOX (Official Selection 2020 HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival), and the body that birthed twins 3 years ago, this “raw and primal and side-splitting funny”* solo show is clown, character, truth and fantasy, all rolled into one woman, dancing to the beat of her own breast pump.
Created and Performed by Anne Zander @initialsaz
With Featured Opener Clowns of Color @clownsofcolor

Featuring opening antics from Elysian’s resident company, Clowns of Color.
Clowns of Color is an audacious comedy duo that blends absurdity, satire, and physical humor to create strikingly original performances. Their work pushes the boundaries of comedy and identity, proving that laughter—when wielded with boldness and artistry—can be a tool for both joy and disruption.
Anne Zander (she/her/hers) is an actor, clown, solo-character creator and physical comedy teacher with an MA in devised, physical theater (Theatre Lab) from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Her deep interest in rites of passage has led to solo works that capture the body horror, desire/repulsion and tender recognizability of these irreversible life transitions, shining laughter into the dark corners of human existence. .
