Book Richard

Clown

Richard has a couple of clowns up his sleeve…choose from the totally absurd ‘Professor Seltsam’ – Senior Lecturer of Applied Absurdity or a classic stiltwalking variety ‘Ricardo’ – part showman, part clown.

Professor Seltsam – Senior Lecturer of Applied Absurdity

A stereotypically Einsteinesque barmy boffin entertains with madcap pseudo-science involving pyrotechnics, smoke and surprises. His experiments include reversing gravity, demonstrating teleportation and re-creating the Big Bang. The show contains visual, intellectual and verbal comedy and consequently appeals to all ages, except the very young who may be frightened by the loud bangs. Being so visual it also has appeal to those for whom English is not their mother tongue.

For insurance and safety reasons the show needs a minimum of 6m x 3m floor space and headroom of at least 3m. The theatrical smoke effects can trigger some alarm systems. It can be performed indoors or out subject to space and weather conditions.
