What if Colonizers were clowns?

Two Brown Clowns, pretending to be British Colonizers, take you through the history of colonialism with a wink and a play. Colonial Circus—Patrons' Pick, Critics' Choice at Orlando Fringe, and Artists' Pick at Edmonton Fringe—is coming to Vancouver with new bits, sharp satire, loads of laughter and gasps.

This show has travelled the continent (Orlando, Cincinnati, Toronto, St. John’s, Montreal, and Edmonton) and even crossed the pond (London, UK), collecting laughs and awards such as Outstanding Clown show – Montreal Fringe, Spirit of the Fringe – Toronto Fringe, and more.

This wild clown show mixes history, humour, and a dash of Alejandro Jodorowsky-inspired mysticism into one thrilling, unpredictable ride. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and probably ask, “Did I just laugh at that?!”
