The Idiot’s Hour Clown Show

An variety clown show, driven by a deeply rooted need in human society to embrace and celebrate our Inner Idiot. We often fear judgment and worry about being seen as idiots in our darkest moments. But let’s accept it with ridiculous laughter, because we often are. A good life isn’t about banishing our Inner Idiot; it’s about living with it sensibly. This is a safe space to be stupid, awkward, and human. Not a flicker, but a fire — long-form clowning.
