The London Clown Festival is back for its third year.
The festival exists to champion the rise of contemporary clowning giving a performance platform to a plethora of talented national and international performers. A hilarious line-up of talented groups and individuals who use every bit of themselves, all the way to their eyebrows, to get the audience wailing with laughter.
Last year, the London Clown Festival booked performers who came to be Edinburgh 2017 Comedy Award winners and nominees and they are expecting to have the same clairvoyance this time around.
Some programme highlights:
Butt Kapinski
Deanna Fleysher, creator and performer, was kind enough to give us an interview here, and iss also teaching some workshops in London (all details in the interview article);
