JUICEBOX💄 is a “painfully funny” ode to adolescence, created and performed by Portland-based “master of physical comedy,” Anne Zander (BroadwayWorld). Traversing sketch, clowning and very bad seduction, the cluelessly insatiable Jessica 💋 (Zander) journeys from tantrum to accidental sexual awakening in this hilarious exploration of pubescent fantasy and obsession.

Zander studied clowning and physical theater at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) (MA Theatre Lab) and has been improvising comedy for over a decade. JUICEBOX debuted at Fertile Ground Festival 2019 and has appeared at The Siren Theater, Portland Sketchfest and Ha Ha Harvest Comedy Festival.

🔜 You can catch the 40-min version of Juicebox at Chicago Sketch Comedy Fest 2020 on Saturday, January 18th at 8pm!

🌟ISRAELI WONDER🌟 is a standup performance interlaced with stories about life, love, experiences as an Israeli living in America, growing up with a very Jewish single mother, and many comedy songs inspired by those subjects and more. All of the above comes wrapped up in one show performed in English with an ever present thick Israeli accent.

Yael Gavish Breen is an Israeli born standup comedian who began her journey at the age of 15 on the comedy stages of Israel by performing in Hebrew. Today, almost fourteen years later, she tries to figure out what her version of the American Dream is by touring, performing and exploring the world of Israeli Wonder.
