Chad interviews teaching artist and veteran improviser ANDEL SUDIK. Andel took Chad’s clown intensive earlier this year and has doubled-down on her exploration of the work (which she’s dabbled in for years). They cover a ton of topics, including the current challenges facing clown and improv, teaching students to be authentic and not getting stuck in roles on-stage that don’t excite you. Also, lots of stories.

STAND UP AND CLOWN (the show) takes place last Mondays, 930pm at The Elysian Theater! The next show is on November 27th. We have an amazing lineup: Eddie Pepitone, Alice Wetterlund, Robby Hoffman, Hannah Pilkes, Mike Falzone, Emily Browning, Anna Seregina, Camirin Farmer and Chad’s young clown supergroup FLWLS! Get your tickets!
