SUBSCRIBE AND REVIEW! We are so grateful to be growing by word of mouth, but if you like this podcast and want to help us get access to our wishlist of guests, it really helps with the Apple algorithm. This week, Chad and Jim speak with clown and actor JOHN NORRIS! Last year, Norris had a standout run with his solo show Mr. Chonkers at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe festival — which has allowed him to start touring the show at venues like Soho Theater. Chad and Norris discuss the show and also look back at their days as ensemble members of The Murge — a show that produced a ton of amazing clowns and also helped transform the definition of improvised theater in Los Angeles. Also, a lot of talk about process, authenticity, mixing narrative with nonsense and finding your voice. Very fun chat!
KEEP UP WITH JOHN NORRIS
And go out of your way to see Mr. Chonkers! Norris also teaches on occasion and hosts the show PIGGY TIME at the Elysian Theater.
