Chad Damiani is one of the architects of the modern LA clown scene – a dynamic fusion of improv, sketch, stand-up and character with the fundamental principles of clown work. His unique approach to clowning and live direction has been covered by The New York Times, New York Magazine, LA Times, Paris Review, BBC, PBS and NPR.

He’s the creator and star of the hit podcast and live show STAND UP AND CLOWN – where he directs well-known comics through their first clown production. Chad is an ensemble member of STAMPTOWN (check out their recent Netflix special), works regularly with circus company Spiegelworld and tours with PIFF’S ALL-STAR VEGAS – an international variety show. He has worked as a clown consultant for comic artists like Natalie Palamides, whose award-winning solo show WEER recently had a sold-out run off Broadway.

Chad’s also been in a bunch of TV shows and movies and started his career as a professional wrestling announcer for World Championship Wrestling.
