Summary

The clowns have all come home for the holidays!

Set before the events of Clown Bar, Clown Bar Christmas tells the story of clowns... in a bar... at Christmas. There’s more to it, but you'll have to venture into the seedy underbelly of clown crime to see for yourself. (This play is not appropriate for children.)
