Comedy Review: CLUB CLOWN (Hollywood Fringe Festival / The Broadwater Main Stage)

SEND IN THE CLOWNS.
ALL OF THEM.

Will Thomas McFadden assembles
a joyful showcase of clowning
talent and comic invention

Will Thomas McFadden has created a Jackson Pollock experience, only with clowns. (Really, talented clowns.)

McFadden has gathered at the Broadwater Main Stage a kaleidoscope of the city’s top chuckle-creators for nightly romps. The clowning crew on the night I attended included Mark Vigeant, Ali Grusell, Byron Coolie, Julia Finch, Geri Courtney-Austein, Molly Kochl, McFadden himself and Scott Leggett (who, with Sidney Edwards, produced).

The results are both a giggle-fest and an educational opportunity to observe the discipline needed to be a top clowner.
