When you hear the word “clown” do you think Balloon animals?  Hamburgers?  Impossibly tiny cars?  Sure.  But now add sex, garbage, violence, blasphemy, hopes, dreams, and…a big dose of hilarity!

On June 3rd through 6th clowns, mimes, bouffons, physical comedians and other performers from across Canada unite to provoke, disturb and treat you with that mysterious and delightful art form known as clowning. Getting to the heart of human struggles, theatrical clowning examines universal themes such as stereotype, prejudice, love, loss, race and religion with satire, parody, a wink and a nudge.

Featuring nightly cabarets:
The Lunacy Cabaret
Cirque de Poulet
Masters of Clown
Best in Class

Full length shows:
Morro & Jasp - GONE WILD
Hooked by Claire Ness
Based on Actual Unrelated Events by Meagan O’Shea
The World Is Ending…and It’s All Your Fault by The Experts Collective
Lupe’s Next Top Lupe by Melissa D’Agostino and Adam Lazarus

Now in our fifth year the festival is being held at the Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement (6 Noble St. just west of Queen W and Dufferin) deep in the heart of Queen St. W.  The festival features full length clown shows as well as cabaret shows with short clown, circus and comedy acts.  This year's masters of clown show features Rick Roberts and Fiona Griffiths talking about their experiences with demontrations from Christian Laurin as Rutabagan.
