There’s a drinking water fountain with an ‘Out of Order’ sign hanging on it.
Colmo, a lanky, clumsy plumber arrives carrying a clatter of pipes and equipment, and does his best to fix the water fountain... soonb chaos and craic quickly follow, with slapstick and comedy falling over themselves to catch up.
Physical theatre, object manipulation with a symphony of absurd live music, culminating in an unforgettable stunt of stupidity. Colm O’Grady’s new creation is an adventure in comedy, an original visual feast with elements and inventions that the world has never seen, for example the world’s first Whoopee Cushion One Man Organ.
A ridiculous piece of street theatre, taking an everyday piece of street furniture and creating a unique comedy universe.
It’s a real Fountain of Joy!
Colm O'Grady set up "Ouch Productions" in 2003 to facilitate his calling as a creator of circus, theatre, and street art… which takes us on a journey through surprising stories.
The common thread in his work could be called contemporary clown: comic and burlesque situations, the diversion of objects into a narrative tool.
Beginning his career in 1995 on the street in Galway, since then,he has toured internationally in more than 30 countries around the world with his solo, duo or troupe shows. Among the many incredible and inspiring artists, directors and circus teachers he has had the pleasure to work with and learn from, he mainly studied with 3 masters- Clown with Philippe Gaulier and Michel Dallaire, and theatre & movement with maestro Monika Panyeaux.
ColmO likes to say that he can play anywhere, that every place is a playground: it’s the theatres, in the forests, the churches, on hills, big or small tents with circus companies renowned in Europe: Flic Flac, Palazzo, even performing on television all over the world.
