Piotr Sikora is a Polish clown, comedian, and theater maker based in London. His internationally acclaimed solo show Furiozo: Man Looking For Troublehas toured across Europe, Australia, and Asia, earning recognition for its bold physical comedy and wordless storytelling.
He has won several major comedy awards, including the Comedy Circle award at the Taipei International Comedy Festival. At the Edinburgh Fringe, Piotr was nominated twice for Best Show at the Comedians' Choice Awards (2023 & 2024), and won The Besties Award by Skinny Magazinefor boldest performance. Furiozo was also featured in the British Comedy Guide’s Best Reviewed Shows list and selected as one of The Guardian’s Best Comedy Shows of 2024. He also won the Weekly Comedy Award at Perth Fringe in 2023, and two Pick of the Week Awards at Adelaide Fringe (203 and 2024)
Piotr is known for blending absurdity with emotional depth, creating performances that are both hilarious and disarming. His work draws on clowning, improvisation, and poetic physicality to explore themes of masculinity, vulnerability, and transformation.That said, his biggest passion is staying at home under a warm blanket, playing my Nintendo Switch.
ABOUT THE 2025 REHEARSAL FOR TRUTH INTERNATIONAL THEATER FESTIVAL
Rehearsal for Truth International Theater Festival, honoring Václav Havel, is a showcase of contemporary European theater organized each year in New York City. Conceived in 2017 as a shared endeavor of the Václav Havel Center (VHC) and Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association (BBLA), the festival honors the legacy of Czech playwright, dissident and political thinker Vaclav Havel.
Each edition of Rehearsal for Truth Theater Festival addresses current sociopolitical trends in Central and Eastern Europe, offering New York audiences a unique opportunity to witness the region’s theatrical zeitgeist.
The program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. The festival is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
