Though King courts chaos in the form of audience interaction, he continually turns it into improvised comic gold.

As clowns go, Barnaby King is very, very funny. (Marty Hughley)

A masterful piece of clowning....Never has self-loathing and cosmic ennui been so entertaining and oddly moving...a thinking person's clown for the new millennium.

Among other attractions, King is a skilled and agile performer who could teach a fringe workshop on how to seamlessly integrate audience participation into a smart narrative. (Alan Kellog)

King's tragicomic emoting is fantastic, like Hugh Grant coming down off a bad mushroom high. (Steve Tilley)

Tragic clown and pianist Barnaby King clings to despair even as he struggles to rise above mediocrity in this riveting one-man show.

Wrenchingly funny...a riveting piece of theatre. We'd call it pure genius.

Charlie Chaplin meets Norma Desmond in clown prince Barnaby King's excruciatingly intense portrayal of a tragically repressed Englishman who yearns to break lose from his suffocating psychological bonds.

It's a story of lost love, luxuriant despair and a desperate desire to rise above one's own mediocrity and inbred inertia. (Pat St Germain)

An unforgettable theatrical experience. Intimate, funny, moving...
