Many believe Clown Zoo began in 2020 -- when a fearless group of performers assembled at The Old Zoo at Griffith Park, determined to put on a show in the face of a raging pandemic. Every Wednesday at 12:30pm, large crowds would gather to see the controversial Mrs. Skin (Natalie Palamides) or her arch nemesis Father Bone (Chad Damiani) live direct theatrical mask pieces that took on the hot-button issues of the day -- while battling the rigors of harsh weather, menacing park rangers and roving gangs of heckling eight year olds.
But the truth is that Clown Zoo is anything but new -- and we are finally ready to reveal to the world it's dark and dangerous origins.
CLOWN ZOO AFTER DARK isn't just another clown show. It's our monthly ritual sacrifice -- where we go to outrageous lengths to appease the ancient gods of mask.
Clown Zoo is Natalie Palamides, Courtney Pauroso, Corey Podell, Chad Damiani, Christina Catherine Martinez, Juzo Yoshida, Max Baumgarten, Ian Bratschie & Bill O’Neill.
With live music by Venable the Mystifier.
