Take the “fun” out of “fun-eral” and throw the rest away!
Zoe W is holding a funeral for her childhood dog, and you're invited! Yay!
Dressed in Victorian mourning garb and ready to cry on command, she'll 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 this dog was Zoe's best friend. It's gonna be a rough one, so join the solemn ceremony and pay your respects with the good boys (may they rest in peace).
Philly Fringe's ONLY ALWAYS ALL clown, alt comedy, performance art, idiot, freaky sh*t hub. Curated by Sarah Knittel. Watched over by baby angels...and your MOM.

About the Artist
Zoe Wohlfeld is an American clown and theatre maker with a background in classical theatre. From 2015 to 2020, Zoe worked in American regional theatre (Olney Theatre Center, Shakespeare & Company), then moved to France in 2022 to study at École Philippe Gaulier. After earning her certificate, Zoe moved to London and began producing original work with her partner, Jack. Together, they created the live-directed melodrama/clown show ‘A Night of Drama’, which has run for the past three years to sold-out rooms in the US and UK. The show has been presented at Soho Theatre in London with the London Clown Festival, at Underbelly Cowgate for Edinburgh Fringe 2025, and with Liebenspiel’s Weekend of Weird at Brighton Fringe.
Dog Funeral is Zoe’s debut solo show. She has toured it around to various cities in the northeast, LA, Ventnor Fringe, London Clown Festival 2026, and is preparing for a run with Underbelly at The Edinburgh Fringe 2026.
