SUBSCRIBE AND REVIEW, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS CLOWN! Chad and Jim sit down with actress, improviser, clown, teacher, director and filmmaker Corey Podell. Corey has co-devised/directed numerous hit shows that have gone to Edinburgh Fringe. We discuss her clown directing style, the realities of the festival (good and bad), the early days of Clown Zoo, the spectrum of personalities that are attracted to the work (including introverts and perfectionists) and some common mistakes we’ve been seeing in the work of baby clowns. Also, Jim decides to “host” a live IG feed of the show with decidedly mixed results. This was a joy… CHECK THE EP NOTES FOR MORE ABOUT COREY AND THE HOSTS!
GO CHECK OUT COREY’S WORK!

TOP PICK: Jim and I will be collaborating on our last live show of the year on 12/11 at a show called Catsby that I’ve been running for almost 12 years. This is more of an underground workout show for clowns and alt performers looking for a safe space to fail (also an amazing community of artists and patrons support it). It’s at The Clubhouse in Los Feliz. Free show (donation only) with a 7:30 start time!
