About the show
Sweaty Clowns is a dark new comedy by Aireborne Theatre, performed at Theatre 2 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. You are the unsuspecting guests of a Boogie Woogie Entertainments party. A dysfunctional clown double-act wars with a school disco DJ/magician, while their well-meaning manager struggles to keep everything from falling apart. Everything rides on one final party — and you're invited. Chaos and calamity unfold in a darkly riotous yet sincere show about refusing to accept failure. Running 50 minutes, age guidance is 16+.
Why see this show?
A comedy that crashes clowns, a school disco DJ and a beleaguered manager into each other in the name of one last party. Dark, funny and oddly sincere — Sweaty Clowns is the kind of chaotic Fringe show that leaves you grinning.
