Great stand-ups are masters of control. They work tirelessly to craft their material – assuring them the greatest chance of success. But what happens when you take all that status and preparation away? Clown performer, director and teacher Chad Damiani (Clown Zoo Presents) takes eight well-known stand-up comics (many with zero clown experience) and ruthlessly teases, cajoles and directs them to take huge risks, fail big and follow their dumbest impulses.

Chad Damiani has spent over a decade as one of the architects of LA’s dynamic modern clown scene. He leads CLOWN ZOO (an all-star ensemble that employs theatrical mask) and is the creator/star of the hit monthly show STAND UP AND CLOWN - where he directs well-known stand-ups as they attempt clown work for the first time. He also performs solo work at traditional comedy clubs and variety shows — including regular spots for the international sensation STAMPTOWN and an appearance on AGT. In 2024, Chad will appear in TBS’s reboot of JOE SCHMO as a series regular.
When Chad isn’t traveling and teaching, he’s often working for the Vegas-based circus powerhouse Spiegelworld (he’ll be appearing in the upcoming Formula One-themed clown show BOX BOX this November). In past lives, Chad worked as a Blacklist-winning screenwriter and as an announcer for World Championship Wrestling (where he learned from the greatest physical storytellers in the world).
