HA HA HA: An apt title for a show where laughter reigns supreme! Evoking the charm of old world clowns in their baggy burlap, oversized shoes and ridiculous red noses, the award-winning Belgian clowning team of Okidok perform a series of outlandishly amusing, wordless sketches and impressive physical routines that cleverly combine traditional, farcical clowning, acrobatics and theatrical poetry. Each vignette finds the goofy duo trapped in some sort of comic predicament — accidents with towering boxes, a door leading to a void, even an unruly carrot!

With gibberish, cartoonish vocal effects and a myriad of faces, these comedic buffoons will leave young and old alike “helpless with laughter.”

“…begins like a gentle tickle and gradually grows into a lusty belly laugh.” –The Montreal Gazette
