What do you get when you let four clowns loose on a stage? A very big mess, and a very funny show. Fortunately for you, we’ll handle the mess! Super Fun Happy Awesome Hour is a celebration of the circus arts and all things clown. This family friendly, hour-long, clown-centric variety show will introduce children, parents, and childless comedy fans to basic (and not-so-basic) principles of clowning through variety acts too fantastical to describe with words. And after the show, an optional clowning workshop will give kids and the young at heart a chance to learn some of the skills they’ve just seen and practice them onstage under the supervision of a highly trained clown named Tim.
