Brother Country

ANTIFA is real and it's a clown duo started by Andrew Stout and Heschel Bay. Upon receiving critical acclaim, multiple tony awards and growing their company to Broadway and beyond, they felt unstoppable. Then the administration of the US changed in 2016. Their company's success was taken from them, any records erased and they were banned from performing around the U.S. It was as if they never existed. Now, when the spirit of America seems to have been smothered by hate, they knew that Antifa had to return. 

In their new show Brother Country: two train robbing clowns embark on a quixotic adventure across America. Follow this rollicking ranch romp as Lit and Robbie rob trains, play baseball with hotdogs, and do whatever it takes to save everything they ever thought about loving.

After being banned and on the run the clown duo ANTIFA pilots a show you’ll #neverforget.
