‘Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.’ – Victor Borge

Some of us spend our lives trying hard not to look stupid. What would happen if we stopped?

The world of clown invites our playful, uninhibited selves to be experienced and celebrated.

Jamie has been performing, teaching and directing clown work for 20 years. He lives in Frome.

8:45pm – 9:15pm: ‘Come Fly with Fred’ performed by Luke Bailey

Come Join Fred, who will give you a guided tour of how he survives living on the streets. Witness a series of tender moments that, brought together, not only tell the story of a day in the life of a homeless person, but are a reflection on mental health, loneliness and isolation in a world full of people.

This story was created from conversations and interactions with London’s homeless community, and shines a light on subjects that need to be talked about.

There will be a Q&A discussion with Luke and a local homeless charity following the show.

9.30pm onwards: Bar open to chat and socialise
