Sumario:The female clown is a recent figure in the history of the performing arts, and has gained space and visibility through a movement articulated around a category called "feminine comicality." In this context of vindication and visibility of women’s clown comedy, emerges several gender problems of this artistic community. This article addresses one of these problems: the transvestism of women in clownery. From a feminist-queer perspective, we have elaborated some questions about the performance of women in clownery, which can broaden the debate on the category of "feminine comicality" developed by women clowns in the last years
