Old God - Secret Clown Show

Old God - Secret Clown Show

  • The Starlight Motor Inn (The Burgundy Lounge) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Everyone's been asking us about this secret clown show, and it's true. There is a fringe performance happening this year - NOT AFFILIATED WITH SPOLETO - that we did hear about. It's called Old God and it's happening Tuesday May 30th at the Burgundy Lounge at the Starlight Motor in on Rivers Ave in North Charleston.

This show has limited seating so grab $15 tickets in advanced or $20 at the door, if you dare!

About the Show:
Old God is a foppish, irreverent oracle. A singer of doom. A weaver of myth. A being so old they have forgotten their own name.
With beautiful costuming, painted canvas backdrop and fancy golden foot lights this white face clown seems to have pranced out of the theater houses of the 1800’s. Pantomime is performed along side improvisational feats of language. No on can keep up as Old God buries the audience beneath a sea of imagery and play.
