What I liked

When you walk into Club Clown, you are handed a neon glowing wand, your magic tool for interacting with the show and its performers, and greeted with a warm welcome to what is billed as the most exclusive nightclub in Los Angeles. At least, that is the premise of Sacred Fools Theater Company’s latest offering at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.

What happens next is harder to describe, mostly because this is the kind of show you should experience with an open mind and a willingness to get caught up in its delightful absurdity. Will Thomas McFadden created, directs, and hosts the production, a surreal and highly interactive clown experience featuring a rotating cast of some of Los Angeles’s most talented improvisers and Fringe performers.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

​Club Clown is less a traditional show and more of an experience: a surreal, wildly interactive celebration of laughter, music, improvisation, and the simple joy of allowing yourself to be ridiculous with a room full of strangers.
