Parlous Theatre, with support from Common Boots Theatre, returns to Toronto with their raucous Fringe hit, INSERT CLOWN HERE, after sold-out runs in Hamilton, Calgary, Edmonton, and at the 2023 Toronto Fringe, winning the Spirit of the Fringe award.
In a comedic collision of Chokovian drama and Clown Chaos, INSERT CLOWN HERE follows a troupe of actors in a fully rehearsed, 19th-century melodrama that is upended when the lead actor goes missing and is replaced by a completely unrehearsed Clown. While the Clown attempts to improvise lines and blocking from a script they haven’t read, the remaining cast will try to keep the story on track, resulting in a comedy-of-errors newly created every performance. What could go wrong? Only everything.
Each night, a new Clown enters the show, ensuring no two performances are ever alike!
Filled with “glorious, farcical mischief” (Istvan Dugalin) and “ridiculous fun” (Steel City Girl Reviews), prepare for the unprepared, as you witness performers embrace the actor's nightmare and laugh at their spectacular failure.
Insert Clown Here “will leave audience members with their jaws dropped.” - Beyond James
