Clown, Comedy, Interactive Experience, Puppetry, Solo Show, Theater

Rat With Wings or Bird Of Peace? COLUMBO'S DAY is the etymological exploitation of all things “Colombian” as a multi-character one-clown show with a couple crappy puppets, a broken record player, and stuff being knocked off pedestals. Starring Howard Zinn as Lieutenant Columbo, Christopher Columbus as Morrissey, and An Ordinary Pigeon as Noah’s Dove.

COLUMBO'S DAY is the first volume of the Nonsense Explorer Series, a chronicle that unpacks history and myth through the comedy of language. Volume two will swallow you whole and cough you up in three days. Stay tuned.

Philly Fringe's ONLY ALWAYS ALL clown, alt comedy, performance art, idiot, freaky sh*t hub. Curated by Sarah Knittel. Watched over by baby angels...and your MOM.
