HAP (LESS ONE)
Come meet Hap, the most useless being you will ever meet. Laugh at the idiot as he learns to fend for himself and function like
an acceptable human being. Unfortunately he isn’t really much of a human being, he’s just a bloody clown. ‘Hap (Less One)’ is a unique
free-for-all in physical comedy and clowning, as we learn to find humour in a fool’s tragedy. From award winning company Fowl Humour.
