An immersive comedy through the lens of two clowns who take you on a ride through the history of colonization with a sense of play and wink. Hold on to your hats, Toronto!
After winning the most coveted Outstanding Clown show at Montreal Fringe 2025, snagging Best Comedy- Critics’ Choice at Orlando Fringe FestN4 2025, and being named Artists’ Pick at Toronto Fringe 2024, Colonial Circus is rolling back into the city of Toronto- and it’s bringing all the laughs, gasps, and uncomfortable chuckles you can handle.
This wild duo clown show mixes history, humour, and a dash of Alejandro Jodorowsky-inspired mysticism into one thrilling, unpredictable ride. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably ask, “Did I just laugh at that?!”
What audience say:
“Theatrical magic, very clown-y”
“So silly, very personal, the end made me cry”
“Give me more. I want more”
“It has masala, fun, satire- a mini history lesson”
“Hilarious, thought provoking. I was cry- laughing hard”
