STAND UP AND CLOWN

Idioms and the Virtue of Nonsense


Listen Later

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?
