Apocalypse Clown

Gloriously gag-filled clowning caper starring NCC favourite David Earl of “Brian & Charles” fame. Set in a post-apocalypse Ireland where a mysterious technological blackout has plunged Ireland into anarchy and chaos, a band of wash-up clowns traverse the country in a wind-up car picking up journalist Jenny (Amy De Bhrún) on a mission to prove her theory of the cause of the blackout. Add in a gang of ravers, some living statues and a big top’s worth of gags, and you get the idea of this mayhem madness of an absurdist farce. Even if some of the jokes splat like cream pies, there’s always another one seconds later. Director George Kane keeps the energy up throughout, helped along by a game-for-it cast that know exactly how to pitch the material.
