​Funny how? Montreal Clown fest counts the ways - Montreal Gazette

​Montreal Gazette - Jim Burke
"This is a festival that looks to the outer limits of the clown universe."   

​Amanda Huotari Makes American Politics Wear a Red Nose - The Link (Concordia University)

The Link - Abegail Ranaudo
​"Huotari’s style of clowning allowed her to grapple with U.S. politics. She performed in the bouffon style where her protagonist came to mock the audience, rather than the clown poking fun at its own flaws."

Montreal's anglo theatre scene turns over a new leaf with fall season - Montreal Gazette

 "​Yes, there will be zany fun, and most probably fright wigs and red noses. But the festival has proved itself to be a lively showcase of up-and-coming and established talent that can appeal to those with a more scholarly interest in the form, too." - Jim Burke, Montreal Gazette

Bill Brownstein: Yet more clowns are coming to Montreal - ​Montreal Gazette

"Troupers, anglos and francos from 11 companies hail from as near as here, Quebec City and Toronto and as far away as Santiago, Chile. The goals of festival organizers Rigaux and Kendall Savage are to provide a space for clowns to experiment in addition to educating the public on the fine art of clowning." - Montreal Gazette - Bill Brownstein
