Brisbane Clown Festival presents
Phoebe Manning: The Importance of Being 'Earnest'
The Lunchbox Theatre (Wynnum, QLD)
Friday, 10 July 2026 9:30 pm
Meet 'Earnest', a little clown with a little suitcase, and a big heart ... except someone broke it. Will you help 'Earnest' put it back together?
Earnest is earnestly endearing as they unpack a broken heart and works with the audience for some group therapy, an ABBA song, poetic solutions and giggles at the human condition. Prepare to give 'Earnest' advice, cheer them along to explore what matter's most ... friends and new beginnings.
The Important of Being 'Earnest' is a whimsical and humorous, one person clown show that celebrates our humanity and asks all the right questions (plus a bunch of silly ones) for the therapeutically well travelled audience.
