Andrea Barello
Tonight! A Clown Who Wanted to be Loved?
Winner of ‘A Moontagna Fest award at Catania Fringe 2024 (Fringe Italia Off)
Nominated for Thessaloniki Fringe award at Catania Fringe 2024 (Fringe Italia Off)
Slow-motion boxing, tape measure tangles, wild pizza dancing. In a playful and absurd crescendo, a hopelessly romantic (and sometimes a little naughty) Italian clown who doesn't speak English tries everything he knows to get the only thing he wants. To be loved? It might sound poetic, but it’s very silly.
Tonight! confronts one of the most classic challenges faced by every clown, and probably by every human – the urge to find love. In a crescendo of comic absurdity, the audience is carried joyfully – and sometimes literally – through a bizarre quest for love.
Andrea Barello is an Italian clown who for obscure reasons is based in Los Angeles, where he hikes in the Hollywood hills and creates silly clown acts.
Tonight! is his first solo show. Conceived and developed in Los Angeles, it was very well received and reviewed at Edinburgh Fringe, Toronto Fringe and Catania Fringe (Fringe Italia Off).
'A delightful solo show with a Mr. Bean-esque quality.' A View from The Box
'The show is a joy to watch.' Parton & Pearl
'He’s clearly having a good time and so are we.' Kings River Life Magazine
