Are we just the result of a chaotic collision of cells, or has our journey already begun before we take our first breath?  

The Fetus Show is an absurd, comedic exploration of birth, our baggagewe accrue , and the grand cosmic joke of existance and the interwovenness of it all. From conception, to the womb, to our  coming to the world, Jessica Farber invites audiences to examine the substance of what we inherit, what we carry, what we find and what we inevitably lose and leave behind.

 A surreal, irreverent take on the so-called “miracle of life,” this show dives headfirst into nature vs. nurture, destiny vs. chaos, and the eternal question - what is the meaning of it all?

Jessica Farber is interested in tending to their small corner of the world while keeping a spark of impulsive nature that keeps their life fluid with curiosity.

A visual artist -clown - and improviser, Jess ia a nanny and pen to paper type of person.  As well as attaining their BFA with a focus in painting in 2012 from West Chester of Pennsylvania, they have training in improv comedy from Finest City Improv, San Diego; where they completed their training and conservatory program from 2015-2017.  From 2017-2021 they were a weekly player on one of the theater’s house teams, a coach and teacher, and lead a workshop, “Step into the Absurd”.   Jessica has attended various visiting artist workshops, Second City intensive, and found clowning during this time as well.
