About Elena Martinez
Funeral Show is a solo dark comedy at Mint Studio, written and performed by Elena Martinez. Following its debut at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2025, the show arrives in Edinburgh. A one-woman dark comedy that pokes around in the well-known wound of when a parental relationship becomes terminal — not through death, but through estrangement. A musical, drag and clown spectacle that seeks closure when a parent is neither gone, forgotten, nor in your life. Audiences are invited to dress in black and celebrate the bygone good times in memory of a life still being lived.
Why see this show?
Dark comedy about a living loss — the estrangement of a parent rather than their death. Musical, drag and clown all in one solo show, with a concept that is as original as it is strangely moving.
