Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Jessica Fostekew has announced she will be heading out on a brand-new live tour in 2026 with new show Iconic Breath.

It will include an appearance at Swindon's Arts Centre in Devizes Road on 25 April.
She will perform at venues across the UK before concluding in Swanage, her hometown, on 16th May. The tour will follow Jessica’s highly anticipated return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.
Since debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011, Jessica has garnered international recognition as a tour de force on the comedy scene. With a string of smash-hit shows behind her and TV appearances including on QI and Live At The Apollo.
Iconic Breath is billed as a monster’s guide to tolerance and temperance. Jessica can feel herself becoming an emotional wildebeest right when her world - and the whole world, thanks - demands cool, collected ultra detached saint-like kindness and understanding. 
The show finds Jessica digging around in her DNA for answers where finds so many beautiful horrors. She gets cancelled, she gets touched, and she gets a dolphin-based epiphany all in one show. The silliest of comedy for the scariest of days.
Jessica said: “All my forces have gone into building this new show. It’s the funniest show I’ve ever written and I honestly cannot wait to take it out and show it off“  
Jessica’s following keeps growing and Iconic Breath marks the next bold chapter in a career that continues to go from strength to strength. With podcasts, TV appearances and a coveted comedy award nomination, the show promises to be a highlight of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
