London Clown Festival

Clown is big news in the theatre and comedy scene right now, gone are the assumptions of red noses and oversized shoes. Today’s clowning harks back to its glory days of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton – amazing physical performers who could make people laugh with a twitch of their eyebrows. Hosted at London’s newest Arts Hub, The Omnitorium at Manor House, from the 10th to the 19th June London Clown Festival is a festival of physical comedy and clown influenced contemporary performance. It explores what clown is to the modern performer and their audiences. The first festival of its kind in London, 34 shows will be seen over 10 days featuring highly acclaimed artists, alongside up and coming new talent from over 10 nationalities.
