About this show
We are in a loneliness epidemic! In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared loneliness a global health threat. In response, they've sent Almost – a hopelessly hopeful clown – to solve it one theatre at a time! Through physical comedy, song, dance and audience interaction, Here Comes Almost follows one clown's wildly misguided yet sincere attempts to cure the world of loneliness.
