Lil Wenker is a London-based, Gaulier trained clown from Minnesota and the co-founder of Chekhov’s Gum. This Thursday, November 14th. Wenker is back in LA with her sell-out debut solo show BANGTAIL, the epic tale of a man in search of his manhood. Saddle up for an hour of unbridled cowboy clown chaos as our hero journeys from the Wild West to the American office!
The Baddest Cowboy in Texas roots ‘n’ toots from the mightiest mountains to the sauciest saloons. When a Badder Cowboy-er Texas-er rides into town and steals his title, he finds himself directionless. Guided by a mystery force towards a life in accountancy, Alan finds himself caught between his two identities and must reconcile his past and present to discover his true purpose.
The blend of storytelling, traditional clowning tropes, rowdy audience interaction and a loving homage to Spaghetti Westerns results in an unmissable show that is at once funny, stupid, and moving.
Wenker has previously toured as part of rowdy and highly physical comedy Crap Ballet which was shortlisted for the 2023 Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence. She’s rapidly become a darling of the London alt comedy scene, performing at venues from Moth Club to SOHO Theatre. Bangtail is directed by London’s own Cecily Nash, a graduate of the two-year professional physical theatre and LEM courses at École Jacques Lecoq. Come see the show with sold out performances in Edinburgh and nominated for Best Variety Show at Leicester Comedy Festival!
