About Lukas Meintjes
Lukas Meintjes performs an extraterrestrial clown show at Studio Four as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The story begins when a UFO ploughs into a gay nightclub on Greenside Place, and a being emerges from the wreckage — kind of messed up, but in a distinctive way. Local drag queen Shirley Knot claims it stole her wig and her vape. The show asks: can you teach this alien how to be human? A comedy clown performance running 60 minutes, suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Audiences should expect participation.
Why see this show?
A chaotic, joyful clown show with a genuinely absurd premise — an alien crash-landing into a gay nightclub. Lukas Meintjes draws audiences into the question of what it means to be human, with participation and plenty of anarchic energy.
