Tickets $10 unwaged | $20 standard | $35 Power Posse**
Duration 60 mins

Something loud, rambunctious and extremely silly has been happening at the Lyttelton Rec centre the last few months.

Feminist Clown Posse, led by the multi-award winning 'Queen of Physical Comedy' Tessa Waters, presents their first EVER live show full of stupidity, joy and glorious failure. Over 20 clowns will make you laugh in places you didn't know you had. 

*No red noses, no big shoes and it is safe for those with Coulrophobia (fear of clowns). 

** ‘Power Posse’ tickets support Feminist Clown Posse’s ethos of free workshops enabling a more inclusive class. Workshops are self funded by Tessa, all proceeds from this show go towards her fees and ongoing workshop running costs to keep this creative venture afloat.  If you have the extra pūtia / cash and would like to support, you can purchase a 'Power Posse'
