Dead Gorgeous: A True Crime Clown Show

What could possibly be funny about murder? We'll find out or die trying!

Featuring some of Adelaide's best young blood, 'Dead Gorgeous' is a unique blend of satire, clowning and irreverent introspection that asks "Why are we so obsessed with true crime? Why don't we do anything to stop these crimes from happening?"

We swear, it's in good taste!

Dead Gorgeous: A True Crime Clown Show was developed as part of the inaugural season of RUMPUS.
