Chad will be doing his WIP show on JANUARY 9TH at 930pm! He is also heading to BALTIMORE, BETHLEHEM and PHILADELPHIA for the second half of January.

Dates for classes and shows listed below!

Another solo episode from The Clown Boss! In this one, Chad discusses how he uses idioms to create prompts in classes and shows. This leads to a deep dive into playing abstract ideas. How can clowns create nonsensical work that surprises audiences, but doesn’t confuse or alienate them?

11/25 STAND UP AND CLOWN (ELYSIAN THEATER)

The Clown Boss is back with another solo episode! This time, Chad discusses the idea of rough play – shows that purposely court danger, hurl insults and tackle difficult topics. The episode was inspired by the recent backlash over comic Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments at a political rally held at Madison Square Garden. Chad shares his thoughts on creating safe spaces for these kinds of shows and what clowns can focus on to make sure it’s a positive experience for the audience. Also, examples of when rough play can cross the line (at least, for him) and miss the mark.
