About BIGHEAD Comedy
Cabbage the Clown: Cinemadrome is the debut hour from BIGHEAD Comedy's Cabbage the Clown, performed at Buttercup. Over 60 minutes, the show marries a buffet of genres in a multimedia drag-clowning performance. Part breathless parody of cinematic history, part thoughtful dissection of minimum wage careers, and part rolling around on the floor covered in popcorn, it is described as Bechdel Test-passing, BBFC-unapproved, and a global premiere. The show contains audience participation, strobe lighting, and strong language. Suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A debut drag-clown show that takes cinema apart from the perspective of a minimum wage employee — funny, inventive and genuinely unlike most things at the Fringe. Come ready to be an audience member in the most chaotic sense.
