About this show
Live-directed by Cirque Du Soleil front man John Gilkey (“Brilliant” - LA Times), the modern clown ensemble, Cruel Babes, invites the audience into a fever dream of physical comedy and extended absurdist composition for a new and once-in-a-lifetime ride each month. Featuring 12 top performers (comedians, actors and musicians), it is a direct descendent of the underground hit, Wet The Hippo – the show that kicked off LA’s modern clown scene back in 2012.“Somewhere at the intersection of the sacred and the profane, of poetry and dire scatology, of clown and Dada, of community and exile, of fourth walls and no walls at all, lies Cruel Babes. Cruel Babes welcomes you to their family playroom for laughs, tears, and live-directed anti-theatrical chaos that is at its very least…absolutely not like anything else.” — Keith Fulton, Filmmaker (Lost In La Mancha)
