Nothing Funnier than Broccoli - Wellington Fringe Festival

Nothing Funnier than Broccoli - A 'Surreal' Experience at the Wellington Fringe Festival

The Broccoli Brothers is a three man journey into the world of clowning and physical comedy. Paul Bourke, Cam Venn and Dave Houston waltz energetically into the absurd, transcending the art of clowning to create a truly ecstatic experience that is at once surreal, unique and very funny.

Fresh from a sell-out season at the Melbourne Fringe Festival this show will transport you to a higher plane of pure stupidity.

The Broccoli Brothers has been brought together by a shared passion for the immediacy of clowning. Between them they have spent years immersed in the genre as students and performers. Paul Bourke has studied internationally with master teachers (Gaulier, Fusetti, Bolton) and toured as a physical theatre performer. Cam Venn began clowning at the age of five and has been bringing his unique brand of humour to audiences as both a stage and roving performer ever since. Dave Houston has created theatre nationally and internationally for over 25 years. His solo show, ‘Going my way’, played Edinburgh to 5 star reviews.

Despite their colourful performance backgrounds, clowns exist only in the moment, and only in relation to the audience. The Broccoli Brothers are no different, creating something spontaneous and irreverent through
play; always exploring the connection and game with the audience.

The Broccoli Brothers are excited to be performing at Wellington Fringe Festival and are here to present fresh, risky theatre where clowns are at home. Together they dive into stupidity and emerge with performances brimming with truth, humanity and joy.
