Fresh off a global run including Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Oslo Humorfest, Norway Clown Festival, and stages across New York, London, Finland, and Paris, Oslo-based American clown Darius Emadi brings his unhinged clown hour to Atlanta!

On a relentless quest for eternal glory, Darius unleashes a mixtape flaunting his most treasured talents (in his mind): breakdancing, basketball, karate, seduction, and some questionable occult abilities. Will he claim his place in the halls of the Greats, or be tossed into the bin, dissolved into obscurity forever? 

Co-directed by Toph Enany and Chase Brantley.

“A wild, affectionate, gloriously messy ride from a performer with an instinctive understanding of live performance and a big, beating clown heart.” – Binge Fringe
