Great stand-ups are masters of control. They work tirelessly to craft their material – assuring them the greatest chance of success. But what happens when you take all that status and preparation away? Clown performer, director and teacher Chad Damiani (Clown Zoo Presents) takes eight well-known stand-up comics (many with zero clown experience) and ruthlessly teases, cajoles and directs them to take huge risks, fail big and follow their dumbest impulses.

  • Chad Damiani is a pioneer of LA’s contemporary clown scene. His journey began over 25 years ago as an announcer for World Championship Wrestling – where he learned from the greatest physical storytellers in the world. He has studied with some of clown and improv’s best instructors, was a founding member of The Murge (an ensemble directed by former Cirque Du Soleil frontman John Gilkey) and has performed over 600 shows with his comedy duo Jetzo, bringing clown work to traditional improv venues. Chad was a featured performer at the Lyric Hyperion, performing weekly with international clown stars like Natalie Palamides and Dr. Brown. Those collaborations have led to a number of clown-inspired TV projects, an appearance on America’s Got Talent and regular work with the Vegas-based circus powerhouse Spiegelworld. He produces and performs in Clown Zoo – the only outdoor theatrical mask show in Los Angeles (soon-to-be featured at the Elysian, every last Saturday of the month at 8pm).
