The Show
Dad. The Government. God.
Part revival, part rally, part pageant, part nightmare, Make Fascism Fun Again rummages through our collective appetite for obedience, and the warm wet promise that someone else might finally take responsibility.
Join our Bouffons as they suck the oozing tit of tyranny and secrete the glory-drunk goo of fascism.
A new bouffon show by Eric Davis (Red Bastard) and Lia Tamborra

Wild-eyed satirical mischief monsters who feed on the ecstasy of mocking.

“Absolutely brought the house down.”
Caught an incredible show at the NYC Clown Festival @Bk_arthaus this past Saturday night – “Make Fascism Fun Again” with Lia Tamborra and Eric Davis absolutely brought the house down. This buffoon romp through politics and personal chaos had the audience roaring from start to finish. Tamborra and Davis work together like a well-oiled (and delightfully unhinged) machine: seamless chemistry, relentless energy, and a command of language that kept the crowd hanging on every word. Pure buffoon brilliance. If this show comes anywhere near you, don’t miss it.
