Sara Kantner to Present THE QUEEN in Hollywood Fringe Debut

Award-winning clown, Sara Kantner, will perform her new show, The Queen, at the Hollywood Fringe. Audiences have three opportunities to see this absurd and interactive clown show at the Activist Kitchen in East Hollywood from June 9 through June 14.

Kantner plays Queen Anne the 8th of Farthingham, a little-known queen from a long time ago, who needs to find a "job". A job. The thing you need to get coin. Something that you can do based on your skills. But, what skills does The Queen actually have besides playing marbles, drinking Coca-Cola, and being slightly deranged? You'll help the Queen uncover these skills in this absurd and interactive clown show. Kantner blends physical comedy, improvisation, and idiot magic into a must-see for fans of period pieces, Mr. Bean, and mocking the rich. The show won Audience Choice and the Encore Award at the 2026 Pittsburgh Fringe. Performaces will run June 9, 3 PM - June 12, 7:30 PM - June 14, 7:30 PM at Activist Kitchen.

Sara Kantner is a comedian, clown, and comedy educator based in Pittsburgh, PA. Her work encompasses long-form improvisation, character creation, physical comedy, and fully embodied play. She has performed at the Montreal Clown Festival, the Philadelphia Fringe, the Fun & Dumb Improv Festival, the Second Best Improv Fest, and the Detroit Improv Festival.
