“Child-like absurdity and a twinkly eye of menace” says Chloe Jacques from Theatreview, but what will you say? 
Described as “brain rot but in real life”, Dugdale-Martin delivers their clown show all about play. Fresh from clown school where they graduated with the illustrious Stupidest Face Award (joke?) this clown from Wellington, New Zealand has curated a show of tried and true stupid scenes. 
If you’re happy not knowing exactly what's going on, if you need an ESCAPE from the RAT RACE, if you need a break but can’t afford a KitKat (the candy or the club), come see BUCK run AMOCK (very proud of this).
Brought to you by RUFF AS GUTZ SPECTACLES and Believable Arts Management. 
Content & Trigger warnings: Watch out! This show contains mature themes, loud noises, haze, flashing lights, and lots of clowning around.
Clown: Sean Burnett Dugdale-Martin
