The London Clown Festival returns for two weeks of laughter and performance, showcasing the talents of British and international clowns. Now a fixture on London’s comedy scene, the event will take place from Monday 8th to Friday 26th July 2024 at the prestigious Soho Theatre and Jackson’s Lane Theatre.
Founded in 2016, the festival continues to promote contemporary clowning by providing a unique platform for artists specializing in physical comedy and clown performances. This year’s lineup promises to be rich and varied, with an inspiring and eclectic mix of artists from all over the world.
A program for all tastes
The opening night at the Soho Theatre will feature a stellar line-up of artists, providing a taste of the shows to come and allowing audiences to pick their favourites for the days to come. Among the already celebrated performances following the opening night, audiences will be able to see Luke Rollason, known for his role in Extraordinary on Disney+, which will feature Let Down Your Haira comic fantasy involving kings and clowns, embellished with the appearance of a hideous duck.
The festival also offers The Door by Neil Frost, a moving show that combines theatre and clowning in a touching way. And for fans of interactive shows, The Clong Show will be a must-see. In this show, six clowns compete for the prestigious CLONG award in hilarious challenges, with the audience deciding the winner.
These shows are just a few examples of a wide selection on offer during the two weeks of the festival. The London Clown Festival 2024 promises to be a vibrant celebration of the art of clowning, mixing innovation, tradition and a good dose of joyful madness to brighten up the summer of young and old. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to discover the best of physical comedy and clowning in London this summer.
