STAND UP AND CLOWN

Blake Rosier

Episode Summary

IF YOU’RE IN LA, GO SEE the Tomato Show — February 9th 8pm at The Yard Theater! Chad will be on the show (but plans on being so good, the audience will forget to throw anything… TICKETS HERE: shorturl.at/cfgqx This week, Chad and Jim sit down with clown, actor, improviser and social media powerhouse BLAKE ROSIER! Like Chad, Blake came from a traditional improv — and has evolved into one of the most unique show creators in LA. He’s also on the forefront of finding ways to use clown ideas to connect with his online fanbase, giving his followers a real voice in his process. We discuss inspiration, learning from mistakes, not being too precious with ideas. Also, building clown shows that not only capture people’s imaginations, but also draw new audiences to the work! TRIGGER WARNING: There lots of bits in this show, which riled up Jim (who hijacks the broadcast repeatedly). Check the liner notes for more info on Blake and your hosts!
