Modern Clown 101: Alt-Comedy Lab

Tuesdays 3/17/26 to 4/21/2026

Ever wonder how alt-comedians like Sarah Squirm, Nathan Fielder, or Eric Andre build bits that are both absurd and successful? Do you want to command a room with ease and win over any audience? Clown, a foundational form of physical comedy, is a tool that can elevate your performance into the next dimension.

In Clown Level 1, you’ll unlock the mechanics of physical comedy and learn to perform without a fourth wall. We leave the red noses and makeup behind, focusing instead on building a grounded stage presence and an authentic audience connection.

Whether you are:

• a stand-up refining consent-forward crowd work

• an improviser building bigger worlds, or

• a storyteller seeking deeper vulnerability…

…clowning is the secret ingredient for making a performance that is uniquely yours. By revealing your true self on stage, you’ll turn your personal vulnerability into a universal connection.

Through playful games inspired by Jacques Lecoq, Philippe Gaulier, and Lucille Ball, you’ll learn to bomb joyfully, take bigger risks, and find brilliance in the mess.

In this class, you’ll learn more about:

• Building a bit: Craft and sustain high-level, absurd comedy bits that actually work.

• Dropping the fourth wall: Stay grounded and connect with your audience in real-time.

• Le Jeu (The Game): Use “clown logic” to find the fun in any situation without a script.

• Consent-forward play: Navigate the room (and others) safely and playfully.

Vulnerable presence: Transform both stage fright and failure into a singular, deeply resonant stage act that speaks to everyone.

Learn some new techniques to take your ideas to a level all your own! In this three day workshop, you’ll learn how to find new ideas for your creative projects by engaging in curious, inquiry-based activities with others.

We'll dive into various methods for brainstorming and polishing ideas into something you can showcase. Join us to improve your creative process and collaborate on your projects with fellow participants.

This workshop can be helpful to you if:

• You're making something and feeling stuck.

• You’re all out of ideas and wondering how to come up with new ones.

• You’d like to bring new layers of experience to your performances by incorporating elements like light and sound.

In this workshop, we’re going to take our serious artistic ideas and turn them into fun and playful possibilities as performers. You’ll brainstorm ideas in class with the help of your facilitators, who will guide you in transforming those ideas into silly “problems”. After that, you’ll explore structured methods or fun games to find creative and whimsical solutions to these challenges. 

This process might look different each time: sometimes, the facilitators will give live direction for your performance while your classmates watch as the audience, and other times, you’ll participate in guided group discussions about the “problems” you’re facing.

By the end of this class, you can expect to gain:

• New ways to generate ideas for your work.

• A workshopped 1-5 minute work-in-progress piece.

• Skills in both giving and receiving constructive, artistic feedback. 

Collaborating with others is a powerful way to gain deeper insights into yourself. Your next great idea is already within you, just waiting for the perfect moment to emerge. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to uncover your creative ideas in a collaborative environment, allowing you to develop them into works-in-progress alongside a supportive community of fellow artists.

This workshop costs $60 and runs April 13th, 20th and 27th (Sundays) from 1-3pm. Sign up on Chaos Bloom Theater’s site here.
