IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS THEY NOSE IT
APOCALYPSE CLOWN WILL BE RELEASED IN CINEMAS ACROSS
THE UK AND IRELAND ON 1ST SEPTEMBER, 2023
Since winning the top prize at the 35th annual Galway Film Fleadh, Apocalypse Clown ’” an insane end-of-the-world clown comedy in which a troupe of washed-up and failed clowns and an ambitious reporter chaotically traverse Ireland after the world is plunged into anarchy following a blackout ’” will be released in cinemas across the UK on 1st September. This chaotic adventure of self-discovery is the directorial scripted debut of George Kane and written by Kane alongside Demian Fox, Shane O’Brien and James Walmsley from the multi-award-winning, Irish comedy outfit Dead Cat Bounce.
Speaking about the release, director Kane said “It’s unhinged, unpredictable and if it’s not the greatest dystopian Irish clown comedy ever made, it’s definitely Top 5”.
The film features hilarious performances from David Earl (Brian & Charles, After Life), Natalie Palamides (Nate ’” A One Man Show), Amy De Bhrún (The Bachelor Weekend), Fionn Foley (Dublin Oldschool), Tadhg Murphy (Brassic) and Ivan Kaye (Gunpowder Milkshake).
“As a fan, I miss the days of the out-there, joke-packed big-screen comedy and ’˜Apocalypse Clown’ is ruthlessly devoted to making audiences laugh”, Kane continued. “It’s blessed with a wonderful cast who fully committed to bringing these loveably twisted weirdos to life, and it demands to be seen with a crowd.”
