Curious about LA clown work? THE ORIGINAL DISRUPTOR is unlike any comedy class you’ve taken. An exploration of not only how games are created and played, but when it’s time to break all the rules. This one-day intensive explores risk, chaos, subversion, paradox, instability, misdirection and the possibilities that exist on the other side of embarrassment and failure. Good for artists of all kinds, including improvisers, stand-up comics and anyone interested in connecting to an audience

CLOWN BOSS BIO “The father of modern clown in LA” - NPR

Chad Damiani is one of the architects of the modern LA clown scene – a dynamic fusion of improv, sketch, stand-up and character with the fundamental principles of clown work. He’s the creator and star of the hit live show (and podcast) STAND UP AND CLOWN – where he directs well-known comics through their first clown production. Chad is an ensemble member of STAMPTOWN (they are filming a Netflix special in May) and also tours with PIFF’S ALL-STAR VEGAS – a traditional circus variety show that plays large venues all over North America. He’s also been in a bunch of TV shows and movies (including DAVE and AGT) and started his career as a professional wrestling announcer for World Championship Wrestling.
