About the Festival

The 2015 Toronto Festival of Clowns aims to bring together clowns and physical theatre artists of all disciplines and backgrounds and provide a common space to showcase their work.

Now entering our 10th year, the festival continues to encourage the risk and exploration of the clown, hosting new and established works that inspire and delight.
