Edinburgh Fringe
Viggo Venn: Clown (Clown in Progress)
Hello. Viggo here. Clown, Comedian and Norwegian. There will be a clown car, big shoes, an amazing balancing act, red balloons and a squirty flower. And best of all, it all takes place in a circus tent, The Magical SpiegelYurt! This will be a guaranteed failure - five shows only! 'My favourite clown in the world' (Julia Masli). 'Pure clown' (Natalie Palamides). 'Best clown I know' (Jonny Woolley, Zach Zucker's director). 'Nordic prince of alternative clowning' (Fest). 'I hate clowns' **** (Guardian). Clown in progress. No press allowed.
