Have you been gaslit? Do you want a song written about your ex? Are you clown curious? Then this is the show for you! Chanel & the Circus presents their solo clown musical All the Boys I Blocked, an accordion driven rollercoaster of blocked exes, train-wreck relationships and ultimately self-acceptance. Highly interactive, audience members get to share their blocked stories and roleplay with Chanel. 'A master clown. Their performance marries the unbridled queer joy of a Chappell Roan concert with the searing honesty, humour and timeliness of Bo Burham’s musical comedy' (PittsburghFringe.org).

Why see this show?

Part comedy, part group therapy — this accordion-fuelled clown musical turns the universal experience of blocking an ex into something joyfully communal. Chanel's interactive style means no two shows are quite alike.
