When you eventually find the venue, located near Finsbury Park, it feels as though the circus came to town and was left abandoned in an industrial estate. But this venue successfully manages to transport the audience to a surreal experience, far away from the traffic and crowds of Seven Sisters. Walking on the pebbles, to enter the venue creates the impression of a washed up circus at the end of the pier. This further heightens the feeling of escape from the everyday routines.

Entering the main tent, jazz music booms through the space, as the audience choose their places from either sitting on an old bus seat or perched upright on wooden benches. Once seated, with the plush red curtains draping the stage, lights flashing and sounds of thunder, the audience is expectant for something very different.

Laughter ripples through the small crowd as a voice asks a barrage of questions- Who? What? Where? Why? These questions echo in the spaces created in the tent.

Brickhead, a LeCoq/ Gaulier trained clown, emerges from behind the curtain to start some audience interaction, which is first of his many attempts to engage the seated, expectant groups.

It’s not easy to know what to expect from Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, as Brickhead, dressed in what resembles a waterproof tracksuit, tries to explain that this hour will be filled with both highs and lows. The audience are left to work out when the peaks take place and if the rather philosophical questions first proposed are ever answered.

At first completely mute, and demonstrating his highly developed mime skills, Brickhead forces the audience to understand what to do during the show. Using a recording device and exaggerated gestures, any barriers are broken down as laughter slowly erupts from the intimate gathering.

A show which relies heavily on audience interaction can be difficult to perform. However, Brickhead selects a few to be involved in the somewhat puzzling vignettes, and the audience soon becomes part of the act. To the amusement of the remaining audience, these volunteers help Brickhead’s characters come to life.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah is filled with surprises, which as Brickhead proclaims, take you down unusual hallways bringing the outside, in. His attention to detail for each character is evident, by the distinctive use of voices for each persona. This is all aided by a random selection of props, for instance a duster and a pre digital age telephone.

The enthusiasm brought to the pieces by Brickhead is sometimes not matched by the audience involvement. However, one can only admire the dedication of this one-man show, as he encourages the audience to find their inner childlike spirit.

The audience quickly lose track of time, as somehow it is now the epilogue. Drawing to a close, the audience slowly understands that there is more to Brickhead than meets the eye displayed through his wacky sense of humour and daft behaviour, we left feeling puzzled yet amused.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah is playing a part of the London Clown Festival until 19 June. For more information and tickets, see London Clown Fest website..
