Anne Zander is MOTHER
TheTNTGamer by Annabelle Wright
Le Why Not Productions proudly presents the world premiere of two shows: Anne Zander is MOTHER and TheTNTGamer by Annabelle Wright
April 13, 14, 20 & 21, 2pm @ Curious Comedy Annex
Big life transitions are laid bare in this hilariously vulnerable Double Feature from Anne Zander (... is MOTHER) and Annabelle Wright (TheTnTGamer).
One — a teen boy with a dream of YouTube stardom turned woman of many successes — the other — a longing-for-children artist grappling the messy reality of her dreams finally coming true — these two clowns face the complexities of irreversible changes, grapple with identity, and draw you into the beautiful absurdity of their real lives.
Poignant and personal, relatable and ridiculous, don't miss your chance to catch two of Portland’s most beloved clowns — known for making audiences “laugh and cringe until [their] face hurt” (BroadwayWorld) and for having “the ability to register an overwhelming number of emotions at once… “ (Exuent Magazine)— on one bill.
TheTnTGamer and Anne Zander is MOTHER are the perfect complement for an afternoon of revelation, reflection, and deep belly laughs.
The Shows:
3:15pm // Doors at 3
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 2 years ago comes Anne Zander is MOTHER, a brand new solo show that will make you laugh until you pee a little (we won’t judge your pelvic floor strength here). Imbued with Zander’s “completely ridiculous… completely vulnerable” comedy (BroadwayWorld), Anne Zander is MOTHER is clown, character, truth and fantasy, all rolled into one woman, dancing to the beat of her own breast pumps.

Annabelle Wright is: software engineer by day, comedian/clown/and circus artist by night, and once upon a time… TheTnTGamer! Before she became the fabulous woman she is today, Annabelle was a pre-teen boy with a YouTube channel and a simple dream: to be famous.
In Annabelle’s debut solo show, she recreates the world of her former self and explores with vulnerability and absurdity how it shaped her identity and expression. Integrating the literal (and sometimes mortifying) YouTube videos from her youth – a showcase of her bizarre and useless talents to a handful of viewers – TheTnTGamer is a one-woman comedy show about growing up in a world that doesn’t always understand or appreciate the creative pursuits of youth.
