COMEDY/THEATRE
Colonial Circus- History, Clown Style
An immersive comedy with two brown clowns who pretend to be British colonizers and take you through the history of colonialism with a sense of play and a wink. Spicy enough for ya? Then, hold on to your hats, London!
Recently awarded with Artists’ Pick at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival, winning Outstanding Clown show at the Montreal Fringe, snagging Best Comedy- Critics’ Choice at Orlando Fringe FestN4 2025, and being named Spirit of the Fringe - Artists’ Choice at Toronto Fringe 2024, Colonial Circus is bringing all the laughs, gasps, and uncomfortable chuckles you can’t miss out on.
This wild duo clown show mixes history, humour, and a dash of Alejandro Jodorowsky-inspired mysticism into one thrilling, unpredictable ride. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably ask, “Did I just laugh at that?!”
