Welcome to Chimp, a silent hour of physical clown mime comedy.  
  
Follow Chimp as he’s released into the unfamiliar human world. He wants the classic human experience, and he’s going to use the audience to get it. Can he realise the life of his dreams, or will he be a chimp forever?  
  
Conor Lynch is a clown, physical comedian, and improvisor from Melbourne / Naarm. His solo clown debut *Chimp *was **nominated for the Golden Gibbo Award –  2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival**, and for **“Best Work by an Emerging Artist” Award – Melbourne Fringe 2025.**

Directed by Paul Bourke.
