During pre-show, the audience is greeted into the simply set space by a chaotic clown with charm and impeccable timing giving out teeny tiny shoes to the audience. As the performance begins, we watch Isaac Kessler perfectly orchestrate this chaos into a series of comedic segments, complete with unexpected twists and ridiculous punchlines that leave the audience both reflective and in stitches.

One of four clown shows this season at the Ottawa Fringe Festival, Victoria Watson Sepejak brings the absurdity and the humour in this sketch-style comedy.
This one-man show starring Frank Blocker pulls no punches — and neither do most of his wise-cracking, southern drawl bearing, no-nonsense characters.
