Peggy the Washing Clown
Based in Perth
About this act
Peggy the Washing Clown is a clown from Perth, Western Australia.
A hills hoist, styled after the one that featured in the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony, provides the central prop for this Perth-based roving act. Guests are invited to help hang clothes, toys and even fluffy dice from the line as the character moves through a crowd, working the interaction rather than performing from a fixed spot. Stilts add height and visibility for larger festivals and public events, while a smaller washing line structure suits more intimate corporate and private functions. Christmas events, community festivals and themed corporate parties all sit within the act's usual range.
