This monthly club invites performers to explore the art of clowning by leaning into the absurd, welcoming mistakes, and uncovering the humor that comes from being vulnerable. No prior performance experience is required. The gathering unfolds in two parts. The first is an immersive workshop on foundational clown principles, using group and solo exercises to discover what makes each person uniquely funny while practicing presence, play, and creative risk taking. The second is a devising session dedicated to creating original clown material, whether solo, duo, or ensemble, offering space to test ideas or discover them in the moment. The focus is on theatrical clowning rather than circus traditions. There are no red noses, juggling, or tricks, and the emphasis stays on authentic connection, genuine laughter, and the beauty of imperfection in performance. Instruction is led by Jack and Zoe, American clowns who met while training at École Philippe Gaulier in France. They create original clown theatre, including A Night of Drama, recognized by Time Out New York among the best shows of 2024, and Dog Funeral, praised by Cog Journal for its unconventional and humorous take on grief. Their work has appeared in New York City, London, and at the Edinburgh Fringe, Ventnor Fringe, and on a Northeast US tour, and they have performed with Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe, with the London Clown Festival at Soho Theatre, and at The Weekend of Weird at Brighton Fringe.
