Working Class Clown is a new work by Samoan (Toamua)/ Australian writer, performer and artist Tommy Misa that embodies the transcultural spirit of the fool and their ability to speak truth to power.

Taking inspiration from Samoan clowning, weaving and architecture it layers a story of grief, joy and riot, inspiring us to spiral up from the residue of the past and rebuild new worlds together. A collage of memory, performance, poetry and song, Working Class Clown asks what is possible when we create in togetherness? In Laughing Memory of Mefiposeta Misa.

See this performance at Liveworks, Performance Space’s flagship festival of live art taking over Carriageworks from 22 to 26 October 2025.
