A stand-up turns up to stand-up...and does anything but stand-up.
Ego, victimhood, identity, and the hostile state of the arts clash centre stage as a joyously
stupid melee of clowning, mime, and original songs burst onto the scene in a show that does not - and cannot - tick the correct boxes.
An absurd clown-mime-original-songs show brought to you in an absurd arts crisis by
critically acclaimed Lecoq-trained clown Claire Parry.
Claire Parry is an alumni of Soho Theatre Labs, was nominated for the Artist Choice
Award at Vault Festival and runner-up for the Funny Women Comedy Shorts Award with
her short film Pitchlash.
