Catch #1 Clown Comedy with Victor and Priscilla, a new comedy featuring a family of cross-dressing Victorian-era clown characters who have previously appeared in other plays at Theatre Gargantua and Alumnae Theatre, at this year’s Toronto Fringe!

This show combines witty wordplay, drawing room comedy, clowning, physical comedy, song, dance, puppetry and drag performance. The play features rich historical language that explores the theatrical slang of the Victorian era, known as POLARI (also used as antique Queer code in a time when homosexuality was taboo and illegal) to touch on deeper themes like LGBTQ+ identities, outsider communities, gender roles, theatricality, and absurdity.

Touching, heart-warming, and intelligent as well as ridiculous, idiotic, bizarre and absurd, these silly clowns will have you laughing in this newest installment of their family adventures!

“Silly fun! Oscar Wilde meets the Marx brothers!” Gender-bending historically inaccurate clown siblings Victor & Priscilla from Alumnae Theatre & Theatre Gargantua return in a new razzle-dazzle romp! Will our zany duo quit vaudeville to become Upper-crust Toffs of the Ton? Or will their fantabulosa drama mama Sophy and clever Bunbury cousins win them back into the family troupe?

Co-written by PGC member multi-award-winning playwright Nina Kaye!
