A riotously surreal concoction of clowning, kitsch and nonsense is heading to Widnes this March as The Farucchio Peru Show comes to the town’s historic Studio venue.

Farucchio Peru is the creation of Leebo Luby, a member of Liverpool-based, international theatre company Teatro Pomodoro, who most recently toured Cabaret From The Shadows across the U.K. and Europe. Luby describes the character as ‘a one-man army of all-round entertainment extravaganza…or a screwball idiot with ridiculous delusions of international stardom. Or perhaps both! This is his show. You be the judge.’ An alumni of Liverpool’s celebrated Hope Street Ltd, Luby trained with the esteemed teacher Philippe Gaulier before co-founding the clown company Man With A Porpoise, whose production Untitled Shakespeare tickled audiences at Prague Fringe 2014, Threshold Festival 2015 and was a London Sketch Fest Finalist.
