Never a Clown
Live Theatrical Halloween Performance 2021
Click here to purchase tickets
Looking for something fun to do with your friends and family this Halloween? Come experience our live theatrical Halloween show in Cole Valley, San Francisco this October 30 -31. Never a Clown is a twisted little tale for immature audiences of all ages.
When a casual brainstorm about this season's Halloween costume crosses the line, a single Mom decides to tell her only child the truth about his father's disappearance. Based on a poem by the same name, Never a Clown is an intimate and offbeat sketch performed for small live audiences in one of San Francisco's most neighborly neighborhoods. This modern black comedy pokes fun at the secrets that parents keep from their children. It's a silly, safe and affordable way to celebrate All Hallows Eve in an outdoor setting, away from the crowds.
No one is better at making folks laugh than local legend and ringling brother, Boswick The Clown. He’ll be juggling, twisting (emotional support) balloon animals and clowning around like crazy in between shows.
This is a fundraiser. 100% of proceeds go to San Francisco / Marin Food Bank.
Tickets on sale now from $5-$20
