Prepare yourselves, Brighton: Mr Chonkers, the infamous creation of American clown and absurdist John Norris, is coming to Komedia on 15 March 2025. This one-night-only event promises an evening of chaotic brilliance, surreal hilarity, and participatory nonsense unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
Mr Chonkers has already made waves across the comedy world, earning a cult following and critical acclaim for his sold-out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe and beyond. This will be his first-ever UK tour, and the Brighton date is sure to be a highlight as audiences get up close and personal with the enigmatic entertainer.
With a CV as unpredictable as his performances, Norris has done everything from digesting a Kia Forte (yes, really) to mastering the art of mime. He’s a Malcolm Hardee Award nominee for Comic Originality and has been hailed for his unique ability to blend absurdity with a sharp critique of performance itself.
“More and more people in our insane world are craving a real live experience,” says Norris, in typically fragmented fashion. “Not just performances done at them, but with them.” Mr Chonkers thrives on the energy of the room, making every show unrepeatable and utterly unforgettable.
The show is equal parts parody and homage, an “important waste of your time” (his words) that will leave you questioning everything – or perhaps nothing at all. Whether you’re a seasoned comedy aficionado or simply curious about what all the buzz is about, this is your chance to witness the phenomenon firsthand.
