STAND UP AND CLOWN

著者: Chad Damiani
  • サマリー

  • One of the architects of LA’s current modern clown scene, Chad Damiani (aka The Clown Boss) explores the mercurial nature of this work — and how it can be applied to everything from improv to stand-up to life in general. A mix of interviews with artists that embody clown spirit and solo episodes where Chad offer opinions, instruction and (hopefully) morsels of inspiration. STAND UP AND CLOWN is named after Chad’s monthly show at LA's Elysian Theater (last Mondays at 9:30pm), where he ruthlessly live directs stand-up comics through a grueling gauntlet of modern clown work.

  • Idioms and the Virtue of Nonsense
    2025/01/06

    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?

  • 100th Episode!
    2024/12/30

    STAND UP AND CLOWN (the show) is on hiatus for a couple months! Chad will be doing his WIP show on JANUARY 9TH, 930pm at the Elysian Theater in Los Angels. Then he’s leaving LA to teach and perform on the east coast.

    The Clown Boss celebrates episode 100 by talking about the clown lessons he’s taken away from doing the podcast, how the presence of an authority in play helps short-circuit the brain and other personal tidbits.

    Chad will be visiting the following cities in January. Baltimore (BIG Improv Theater), Bethlehem, PA (SteelStacks Improv Festival) and Philadelphia (this workshop has one spot left as of publication).

    CHECK OUT CHAD’S LINKTREE for more information on how to sign up.

    STAND UP AND CLOWN (the show) is on hiatus! Chad will be doing his WIP show in early January (the last few have sold out), but then he’s leaving LA to teach and perform on the east coast (dates listed below)

    The Clown Boss returns with another solo episode. This one covers a number of related topics, as Chad discusses what’s on his mind as he begins his holiday break. There’s a discussion of grief and performance, the necessity of training discomfort and thoughts on how young clowns rely too much on intellect when creating work.

    Chad will be visiting the following cities in January. Baltimore (BIG Improv Theater), Bethlehem, PA (SteelStacks Improv Festival) and Philadelphia (his workshop has sold out, but he’s got a couple shows). Watch for information on Toronto, Chicago, Austin and other major cities in the coming weeks.

    CHECK OUT CHAD’S LINKTREE for more information.

    And don’t forget — you can reach out with questions or if you think you have a town that desperately needs clown
