About Andrea Barello
Tonight! A Clown Who Wanted to Be Loved? is a physical clown and absurdist comedy show by Andrea Barello, performed at Just the Club Room during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A hopelessly romantic and a little naughty clown tries everything to get the only thing he wants — to be loved. Through slow-motion boxing, tape measure tangles, and wild pizza dancing, the show confronts one of the most classic challenges faced by every human: the urge to find love. The audience is carried through this bizarre quest, sometimes literally. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Wordless clowning with a genuine emotional core — the desire to be loved is universal, and Barello finds it in the most absurdly physical ways. Joyful and accessible for a wide audience.
