Zoe Wohlfeld is holding a funeral for her childhood dog, Twinkles. Dressed in Victorian mourning garb and ready to cry on command, she’s here to teach you how to properly perform your grief. All she wants is your sympathy, your tears, and a goddamn glass of wine (please). Sadness is Zoe’s passion, and Twinkles was Zoe’s best friend, so join this solemn ceremony and let her teach you how to pay your respects with the big boys (may they rest in peace).

Content warning: This show includes audience participation, sexual references, themes of death and suicide, and the use/consumption of chocolate cake and flour onstage.

Zoe is a classical actor turned clown. She is a graduate of Ecole Philippe Gaulier, and her work has been performed in the US and UK including at Soho Theatre with London Clown Festival, with Underbelly at The Edinburgh Fringe, and with Liebenspiel’s Weekend of Weird at Brighton Fringe. Dog Funeral is her debut solo show.
