Coulrophobia

It's clowning, but not as you know it
By Robert Iles - 16th Jan 2016

Coulrophobia reviewI am so glad that I change my socks before going to the theatre ... but more on that later ...

This really is a fabulous show, laugh out loud good, funny, inventive, full of craziness and ending in the funniest full frontal nude dance I've ever seen - on stage or off! There's even some scare when the controlling clown appears ... for these two clowns are not masters of their own destiny, the controlling clown has them at his mercy - or at the mercy of his script - and struggle as they might their actions, and at times their limbs, dance to his tune. The set is all cardbard and the cast of two are assisted by puppets (beautifully manipulated) and many willing audience members ... no point in sitting at the back, they pick their victims from all over!

It's a hard show to describe, and I wouldn't want to spoil it for you anyway - just go see it - you'll thank me!

And my socks? Well, I escaped being dragged on stage but did not escape having my sock dragged there instead and turned into a sock puppet ... in fact it was on stage for the rest of the show - sock fame!
