Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Church of Clown

Created and Performed by Andrea Barello

Winner of “A Moontagna Fest” Award, Catania Fringe 2024

Slow-motion boxing, tape measure tangles, wild pizza dancing. In a playful and absurd crescendo, a hopelessly romantic (and sometimes a little naughty) man tries everything to get the only thing he wants. To be loved?

★★★★ “A little spa break for the soul” The List

Tonight! confronts one of the most classic challenges faced by every human: the urge to find love. In a whirlwind of comic absurdity, the audience is carried joyfully, and sometimes literally, through this bizarre quest.

★★★★ “A funny and poignant performance” The Reviews Hub

Andrea Barello, born and raised in Italy, approached the world of comedy via improvisation. He performed in many ensembles, including the Turkish-Italian duo Euro Trash. When he stumbled into clowning, he immediately knew that he had found his home.

Tonight! is his first solo show. In 2025 he began to develop a new show, Full of Grace, where he plays a peculiar priest struggling with an unusual service and moral dilemmas.

Since 2024 he has started a collaboration with Clowns without Borders (USA) and Llaven nü (Mexico), and participates in humanitarian clown projects aimed at displaced and vulnerable populations.

He lives in Los Angeles, where he hikes in the Hollywood hills and creates silly clown acts.

★★★★ “Classical European clowning at its best” The Clothesline
