With irony and poetry, the play aims to make people of all ages laugh and show how beautiful it can be to find the courage to embrace one's own uniqueness.

In "Uff Tada – So geht's!" (Uff and Tada – Here's How It Works!), Uff and Tada have firmly decided to put on a show and have rehearsed diligently. Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned.
A clown show about two who have big plans, fail a few times, and together achieve almost anything. It revolves around serious questions in humorous situations, dealing with friendship, arguments, doubts, and getting along.

If you are a clown, or just starting your journey as one, you are very welcome to join us! Feel free to invite anyone who would like to experience this joyful moment together.
This gathering is more than a parade — it’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and exchange. A lively cultural and social manifestation in the streets, open to everyone.
Through music, dance, and spontaneous encounters, we will fill Berlin with the colorful spirit of clowning, showing that clowns are very much alive in the city and that their art brings joy and lightness to the public space.
Starting from Finchleystraße 10, 12305 Berlin, we will move together in a vibrant journey of expression and unity.
Bring your smile, your rhythm, and your heart — let's celebrate the art of the clown, and together, make the streets come alive!
Bring your costume, your red nose, and your instrument — whether it’s a ukulele, trumpet, conga, kazoo, or anything else that brings music and laughter to life.

Since the first Clown Festival Berlin we meet once a month at the Clown Cafe: a possibility to meet, talk, and exchange ideas between colleagues. Sometimes we tell anecdotes, sometimes we tell each other how we are doing or exchange information, and sometimes we just have fun with each other. We meet again in this third edition of the festival, where this beautiful idea started. This activity is for professional clowns only.
29.06. - 12:00
It is a place for colleagues to meet and discuss a specific topic. On this occasion we are going to exchange ideas on diversity, privilege, racism, intersectionality, cultural appropriation and different discriminations. How to detect if we have discriminatory attitudes in our language and in our humour, and what to do about it? This and other questions will be part of the agenda. It is a moderated activity for professional clowns only.
28.06 - 18:00- 19:00
Dancing for everyone – wild, colorful, and with lots of laughter! Come along – we'll put on the music, and you bring the good vibes!
