About Jeromaia Detto
Jeromaia Detto: When I Grow Up... is an improvised clown and improv comedy show by semi-professional performer Jeromaia Detto at The Wee Coo, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Each night, Jeromaia creates a brand-new show based on the childhood dreams shared by that evening's audience — whether they wanted to be a doctor, a florist or even a fish. With a stage full of costumes and a heart full of imagination, this is pure improvised clowning built around audience suggestion. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Note that audience participation is involved, the show contains strong language, and there is a possibility of nudity.
Why see this show?
Every show is completely different because the audience decides the content — a genuinely spontaneous experience built from real childhood dreams. Warm, inventive clowning that puts imagination at its centre and never repeats itself.
