Don’t be afraid to embrace the beast… It just wants to play!

A wild and wonderful physical comedy by Chris Lynam, the iconoclastic clown, presents his interactive, acrobatic, obsessively musical and gloriously epic show!

Chris Lynam has been working as an unclassifiable solo clown and comedian for over forty years, earning him a reputation for his eccentric performances and unpredictable chaos amongst audiences around the world.

With his raw physicality, a refined understanding of the grotesque and a seemingly endless repertoire of explosive stunts, he has fervently subverted the tradition of alternative comedy, shattering our expectations with his extraordinary and eccentric surrealism and his persona as a spontaneous modern clown.

The script for this show isn’t written until the very end, so don’t be afraid to embrace the beast...  it only wants to play!

“King of clowns”, The New York Times

“A surreal and unbalanced quality that contributes to its comic brilliance.”, The Guardian

“The mastery of the bizarre and extraordinary buffoon, with intelligence.”, The Times.
