Jessica Barton

Dirty Work

  • Australia

Winner Take a Chance on Adelaide Award 2025 Adelaide Fringe

Hollywood Fringe Tour Ready Award Shortlist

Floppins has cracked the s**ts. Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys – and girls – a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. 

Jessica Barton is a triple-threat clown, combining her professional musical theatre degree with her professional training from L'Ecole Philippe Gaulier to deliver highly professional comedy, professionally. Returning home from a two-year creative sabbatical in France and London, she combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning and deep-cleaning to present a skanky and empowering Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut.
