When we say Burgers is a clown, erase any mental image of a painted white face, a honking red nose, and an orange wig straight out of a circus (or a nightmare). His clowning isn’t the slapstick of carnival chaos—it’s theatrical, European, and the kind of craft its performers earnestly call “work,” even though the essence of it is play. It’s an art that balances the absurd with the profound, the serious with the silly. And yet, when you see Burgers in person—his wild frizz of hair escaping from beneath a well-worn ball cap, his boldly patterned shirt, his shorts paired with dark socks, and an energy that hums somewhere between laid-back and buzzing—there’s an undeniable, delightful clownishness about him.

The pioneering cult clown is back with his first new show in a decade.

It’s been 12 long years since his last one – which won the Edinburgh Comedy Award, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for Best Show and Total Theatre Award for Innovation in 2012.

This is silent comedy at its most silly, surreal and absurd from an internationally renowned clown.
