Baubo ~ the little pussy clown.
She is the ancient, healing goddess of dirty jokes. She is the patron saint of those who rock a bold camel toe at Cub Foods. She reminds us that we cannot postpone joy till after the work is done, and that silliness is sacred.
Baubo was summoned/debuted at The Full Moon Puppet Show, June 2021. Her healing laughter and chaos has spread across the Midwest since.
