Tonight! confronts one of the most classic challenges faced by every clown, and probably by every human: the urge to find love. In a crescendo of comic absurdity, the audience is carried joyfully - and sometimes literally - through a bizarre quest for love.

Andrea Barello, born and raised in Italy, approached the world of comedy taking an improv class in San Francisco. He performed in many ensembles, including the Turkish-Italian duo Euro Trash, which toured comedy festivals in the USA and Europe.
When he stumbled into clowning, he immediately knew that he had found his home. Over the years he has studied clown and physical theater with master teachers around the world, including Philippe Gaulier, Aitor Basauri, Paola Coletto, and Dr. Brown.
He has recently joined a humanitarian clown project with Clowns without Borders and Llaven nü (Mexico).
He lives in Los Angeles, where he hikes in the Hollywood hills and creates silly clown acts.
Tonight! is his first solo show. Conceived and developed in Los Angeles, in 2024 it got good audience response and reviews at Rogue Performance Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, Toronto Fringe Festival, and Catania Fringe (Fringe Italia Off).
