Brisbane Clown Festival presents
Phoebe Manning: The Importance of Being Ernest
The Lunchbox Theatre (Wynnum, QLD)
Sunday, 12 July 2026 4:00 pm
Meet Ernest, a little clown with a little suitcase, and a big heart ... except someone broke it. Will you help Ernest put it back together?
Ernest 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 Ernest advice, cheer them along to explore what matter's most ... friends and new beginnings.
The Importance of Being Ernest 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.
