Video: Opening number from our 2009 show

Our show, Dr Clown Gets The Fever, was all about us clowns catching Saturday Night Fever, so there was a lot of dancing to all our favourite hits from the 70s. We began by making dramatic entrances to this hit from the movie Grease.

Gladys at the marathon, on TV

Gladys was at the Sunfeast World 10K in May, and won 2nd Prize in the costume competition. She tried explaining that this was no costume, just her regular wardrobe, but they insisted on giving her a prize anyway. Here she is on News 9, talking about important things like the weather.
