Clowntown City Limits

2 Headed Dog performed the comedic theatre piece Clowntown City Limits, about four down-and-out clowns, many times. It was written by the troupe, with additional material by Joel Madison, Dale Goodson, and Bob Rucker; with music by Andy Paley, and directed by John Ferraro.

Clowntown City Limits was described by LA Weekly as "ravishingly brilliant ... as funny and pointless and circuitous as life on the margins",[3] and was still playing well three years later, described then as "hysterically imbecilic repartee" tinged with "a loathing resentment".[4]
