"THIS SHOW IS A SHOCKING ONE-OF-A-KIND SPECTACLE. CRUEL AND UNUSUAL - BUT FAR FROM A PUNISHMENT" - VOYAGELA

There are lots of scary clowns in the world...

But none of them are more terrifying than The Clown Boss.

It's STAND UP AND CLOWN's annual Halloween Spooktacular!

Six comics are stripped of their prepared material and cheap tricks as they perform in their first-ever clown show -- under the ruthless direction of The Clown Boss, Chad Damiani. Are they ready to risk it all and follow their dumbest impulses? Or will they crumble under the pressure?

Come witness the joy of suffering.

Chad Damiani has spent over a decade as one of the architects of LA’s dynamic modern clown scene. He leads CLOWN ZOO (an all-star ensemble that employs theatrical mask) and is the creator/star of the hit monthly show STAND UP AND CLOWN - where he directs well-known stand-ups as they attempt clown work for the first time. He also performs solo work at traditional comedy clubs and variety shows — including regular spots for the international sensation STAMPTOWN and an appearance on AGT. In 2024, Chad will appear in TBS’s reboot of JOE SCHMO as a series regular.

When Chad isn’t traveling and teaching, he’s often working for the Vegas-based circus powerhouse Spiegelworld (he’ll be appearing in the upcoming Formula One-themed clown show BOX BOX this November). In past lives, Chad worked as a Blacklist-winning screenwriter and as an announcer for World Championship Wrestling (where he learned from the greatest physical storytellers in the world).
