by Savannah Stewart

International, local, for kids, 18+, traditional, experimental — variety is the theme at the eighth annual Festival des Clowns de Montréal.

With a number of hot-ticket shows (including returning acts whose performances sold out last year) along with panel discussions, improv and a talent show MCed by Montreal drag star Uma Gahd, the eighth edition of the Montreal Clown Festival promises to get audiences laughing.

With a different event scheduled every day, the festival line-up features a wide variety of entertainment, including international acts and kid-friendly performances.

The Montreal Clown Festival takes place at various Montreal venues from April 4 to 12. For the complete program, and to buy tickets, please visit their website.
