Clowns Are Not Creepy: A Halloween Comedy Special in Basel

This Halloween, join some internationally-acclaimed clowns at The Beast Basel Comedy Club for a one-off night of comedy that will leave you with your jaw on the floor.

People might think of clowns as (best-case) for children or (worst-case) for horror films, but there is so much more to it. There is a magic to clown performance that is hard to describe- we guarantee that you will leave this show gobsmacked and unsure what you just saw. It has to be seen to be believed.

On this special night there will be three shows, of which you can attend as many as you like. Come by for one and stick around for a full night of laughter and joy! Each show is pay-what-you-want and at the end of each show, you can pay the performers directly. We suggest a range of 10-25CHF per show.  

The timeline for the shows is: 
7:30-8:30 - BANGTAIL
9:00-10:00 - Furiozo: Man Looking For Trouble 
10:30-11:30 - Boneman Rides Again

The show will feature Lil Wenker in BANGTAIL, Andy Casper as Boneman, and Piotr Sikora as Furiozo, as well as hosting and support by Teddy Hall.

The show takes place at The Beast Comedy Club, the heart of great comedy in Basel.

About the shows: 

BANGTAIL
Baddest. Man. Texas. These are just a few words to describe the baddest man in Texas.
