Event details

“The clowns come on, get the biggest, juiciest laughs, and then leave." — Roger Bart

In this workshop, you will be guided through a whistle-stop tour of all things clown by theatre-maker Katie Leckey and actor/comedian Jimmy Johnson from local theatre company Griffonage Theatre. You will have the chance to explore physical comedy and slapstick, the art of the double act and learn how to develop your own clown character!
