Considerations

The show requires minimal lighting equipment and can be adapted for a simple lights up and go, if need be. Sound is equally as simple, as we only require a speaker to play the cues from. The majority of the props fit into a suitcase with the only exception being a bicycle which folds down to be a little larger than a standard suitcase, all can easily fit in the back of a standard car together. There is no set and the required tech rehearsal can easily be completed in under 4 hours. The show has been performed in the past on stages as little as 3m x 2m, but also thrives in larger environments.

Unique Selling Point

Lucy & Me is a comedy show like no other. It utilises clowning, physical performance, props, puppetry and a show stopping bicycle. To transport audiences on a beautifully bizarre and hilarious journey, thorough a day in the life of a loveable idiot and his best friend a 1963 model Schwinster bicycle.

Marketing Materials

I have a filmed copy of the show to cut into several different promo videos, which can be adjusted to fit any digital platform (Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube, Websites). We have posters and promo images ready for print. We are also in process of finalising various marketing copy to help inform and persuade audiences to attend. We also have several written short comedy sketches, we plan to film and release online to help with exposure and ticket sales.

Community Engagement

Jennifer and myself have both had the privilege of being trained in clown from one of Europes great clown masters, Philippe Gaulier. Gaulier's method to clowning is a unique one wherein an individual is encouraged to discover what is special and unique about themselves and express that in order to become an engaging clown on stage. If given the opportunity, we would love to run clown workshops teaching this method to others who are looking to learn. We can tailor the workshops to facilitate a wide range of ages and skill levels. We have both taught to school groups and adult classes on several occasions. Running sessions for beginners and sessions for intermediate/advanced. Clowning is an excellent way to enable an individual or group to embrace their quirks and find a sense of happiness and pride in their differences. It brings people together and helps to fight off depression. So with these workshops we could leave a legacy of fun, happiness and laughter.
