For the city's favourite MBA graduate-turned-clown, Martin D'Souza aka Flubber, the second edition of International Clown Festival is like a family reunion.
However, at the festival which kick-starts on Friday, Flubber and Canadian unicycling clown Mike Hirschbach are the only two returning to the city.
But for D’Souza, it’s a reunion for members of this amusing world. “We are bringing six new clowns from USA, Canada and Malaysia. And all of us have performed with each other in different parts of the world. So it’s somewhat a get-together,” he explains.
Busy with pre-events of the fest that start this Tuesday, D’Souza is putting together clowning workshops that teach everything from juggling to balloon sculpting.
His entourage of caring clowns will also be seen visiting city malls and schools as well as embarking on a Patch Adams-esque path and perform for cancer patients and street kids in Mumbai.
