What The Festival is pleased to present the anticipated return of Bubkus!

Bubkus is an adventure of epic proportions. A battle of one manʼs will to defeat the monsters of his own creation. One Clown, five props. No set. No sound. No words! Bubkus toured extensively in the US and Canada and enjoyed runs in Nanjing, China and St. Petersburg, Russia.

Jesse Buck is an award winning 30-year veteran in the world of Clown and physical comedy. He cut his teeth producing DIY Clown and Masked theatre in Ottawa Ontario. Over 15 years he created more than twenty productions of Absurdist Clown Theatre. Jesse toured for more than five years with Cirque du Soleil performing in multiple projects. He completed the two-year program with Master teacher Philippe Gaulier in Paris, as well as many workshops under various international teachers of all kinds of stagecraft. Jesse has left touring life behind and is engaged in contributing to the vibrant and diverse community of Clown and various types of Idiot comedy in Toronto. He performs and offers his own workshops under the moniker Professor Eff.
