COLONIAL CIRCUS To Perform At Cincy Fringe
Featuring South Asian artists Sharma and Parashar who are co-founders of Hinprov.
Sachin Sharma and Shreya Parashar, the comedy duo behind Two.2.Mango, have announced their award-winning clown show Colonial Circus will have five performances at Cincy Fringe 2026, just after wrapping up Orlando Fringe 2026.
This performance is devised and performed by South Asian artists Sharma and Parashar who are co-founders of Hinprov - Canada’s first bilingual improv community for people of color. As founders of Hinprov, they’ve brought multilingual comedy to stages across North
America, including Just for Laughs, Detroit Improv Festival, Newfoundland &
Labrador SketchFest, Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, Improv Fest Ireland, and Vancouver
Improv Fest. Their brand new show, Hansal and Geetal debuted in London in November 2025 and has already been nominated for The Offies, and winning the Producers’ Pick at Toronto Comedy Sketch Fest, 2026.
Colonial Circus flips the Western narrative on its head as two Brown clowns take on the role of British colonizers- delivering the laughs, gasps, and uncomfortable chuckles the audiences can handle. The performers blend clown, song, dance, and audience interaction, and morphing props to reimagine history through absurdity.
Performances will take place on May 30, June 3, 6, 7, 9 at The KNOW Theatre of Cincinnati located at 1120 Jackson St, Cincinnati, OH. Tickets can be purchased at the Cincy Fringe's website.
