The Red Nose Of Courage

We want YOU to join the clowntinental army with THE RED NOSE OF COURAGE: two acts of action-packed, nonstop clown as our brave boys dodge the draft, try to suck each other off, and face the horrors of the front!When the motherland comes calling and draft papers arrive in the office, it’s up to plucky business clown Gingham to keep her husband and his nemesis on the home front and available for hookups. Will she get all clowns dishonorably discharged, or will Argyle’s patriotism and Wensley’s desire for those sweet veteran discounts at Dunkin Donuts leave her a widow? War is heck!Introducing Atlanta treasures Beau Brown on puppets and Mo Downs on the booth, Clown Corp is thrilled to be presenting this piece for a broader Atlanta audience.Who We Are:Celebrating its second birthday this year, Clown Corp LLC is a decades-old corporation specializing in business, clowns, and business clowns.
