AN ENBY’S GUIDE TO CLOWNING AROUND by Clay Wild Munley
Come one, come all to see the adventures of Kirby the Clown (Kirby Denny)! AN ENBY’S GUIDE TO CLOWNING AROUND! is a campy clown cabaret about child using imagination to navigate their expression, sexuality, and puberty while navigating the obstacles of living authentically queer. Through their imagination, creativity, and cozy bedroom, we invite audiences to play, draw outside the lines, and connect to their inner childhood clown. Caution – this piece contains wigs, paint, pink, boobs, buffoonery, binders, messes and 2000s pop music. Trigger warnings include absurdist intimacy, partial nudity, strobe/flashing lights, and heavy sound effects.
