Friday Flop

“To Laugh Or Not To Laugh”
live audience-responsive online clowning

“To Laugh Or Not To Laugh” is a 30-minute live-streamed online clown performance which responds in real time to the audience’s own responses, especially to your laughter – or lack of it!

8 performers from the long-running monthly in-person show at London’s Rosemary Branch Theatre, “Friday Flop”, have been putting their adaptabi

lity to the unexpected to good use recently, and will be on tour (online only) around the globe later this year via venues, festivals and pop-up events. Produced by Jon Davison (London Clown School), and directed by Christine Lesiak (Play the Fool Festival, Edmonton, Canada), the show is a unique leap of faith in the audience, whose responses will determine the performers’ decisions during our half-hour together in a zoom room. Spectators can choose to be audible, visible or unseen, but it is your honest reactions which make this show special. The new online piece will be available for online touring from the end of July until the end of November 2021 and is aimed at audiences of all ages internationally. We are especially interested in community-oriented venues and events and festivals which foreground new and accessible clown theatre.

“To Laugh Or Not To Laugh” is a ticketed online performance which requires spectators to register for a live Zoom meeting, where interaction uses simple built-in tools for controlling audio and video engagements. There is also the possibility for venues and events to stream the event elsewhere for non-participating audience.
