The name Mary Strawberry may seem sweet, but her Tampa Fringe Festival act has more screams than cream.
After years of group performances and a decade of burlesque experience, the raunchy clown debuts her solo variety show next week. The hour-long performance includes puppeteering, cosplay, drag and impersonations—with some audience participation.
The production is rated PG, but is more groan- than giggle-inducing (translation: kids are welcome just maybe don’t sit in the front row).
Tickets are $15 for “Strawberry Sideshow,” happening Saturday, June 14 at Tampa Fringe Festival.
