Synopsis

There's been a murder at the Clown Bar.

It's a place where underground clown crime syndicates battle for top billing, and a gunshot ends in a bleeding stream of confetti.

The rules are strict, the jokes are dark, and the best way to serve a cocktail is to "make it funny."

It's a year later and the Clown Bar is in disrepair.

Happy has gone missing.

Has he been offed by clown cowboy Brigham Bill or was it an inside job?

Two cops who knew Happy when he was on the force go undercover as clowns in the Clown Bar to find out what happened.

Knowledge of the preceding show is not required to enjoy this sequel.

In the words of the playwright, "look, if you didn’t see/read the original Clown Bar , that’s fine.

You’ll still understand the play."

Press Reviews

"An absurd and fabulous play that takes "clowning" to a whole new level. The physical comedy of the play will undoubtedly keep audiences laughing while witty and quick dialogue will allow for an engaging play. A show made for all."

— New Play Exchange Community

"Fun the minute you enter the performance space."

— Eat More Vegas
