DONKEY FEATHERS (A variety show for fools)





When two 21st Century FOOLS decide to create a Variety Show, the result is Donkey Feathers: A Carnival of Irreverent Clowning, FUN and unpredictable, exactly how they want it!! Mickey and Jonnie, with their sophisticated suits, are hosting a two-handed machine of tomfoolery that will TRICK, MOCK and simply LAUGH at everything laughable. Where no-one is saved.

This is a Variety Show in the original sense of the word. But in the hands of The Gombeens becomes a reckless pastiche of skits and routines, new and old, splashed with roots music and a world populated by Mallets and Devils, Animals and See-Saws, Posh Art and Politicians. They confirm the true versatile nature of folk fools!

Deeply inspired by their long Tradition, these two CHARLATANS will slowly reveal, through chaos, their fool's Philosophy of LIFE and drive this outrageous celebration of foolery to climax in the most unforgettable exit of any clowns.
While awaking the fool in all of us, Young and Old, with a playfulness that is dangerously contagious.
When asked about Donkey Feathers the two gombeens said 'Imagine a world where mallets can talk as well as drive pegs into the ground. Now stop imagining that! Come to see us!'

Donkey Feathers is an outdoor show. Also suitable for large-scale indoor venues like community halls and theatres that are not afraid of being put up-side-down.
Suitable for all ages
