Upcoming shows

Down to Clown takes place on the second Thursday of every month at 7 PM at Pine Box Rock Shop in Brooklyn. There are three shows starting at 7 pm, 8:15 pm, and 9:30 pm, with brief 15 minute breaks between shows. Tickets are $5 per show or $10 for the night, cash or Venmo on the door (performers get in free!).

The 7 pm show is the Clown Open Mic, featuring brand new short acts (solo, duet, and ensembles welcome!). The 8:15 pm and 9:30 pm shows rotate each month. Check out the schedule below to see what’s coming up, and send us an email if you’re interested in producing a show.

To perform at any of the shows, you can pitch an act at the button below, or get in touch directly with a guest producer. The venue has mics if needed and we provide a sound tech. All artists are paid on an even door split across the night - each artist (human, not act) gets one share.
