Clown Boss Chad Damiani live directs a group of comics through their very first clown show. Along the way, he ruthlessly teases, cajoles and drives them to abandon their intellect and follow their dumbest impulses.

A glorious celebration of failure and the cruelest show in clown, CHAD is BACK at Bottlerocket for another one-of-a-kind show you won't want to miss.

Why'd We Book It?

Clowning has sweeped the comedy world. Ask anyone who knows and they'll tell you who the real American CLOWN BOSS is - CHAD DAMIANI! Here's an opportunity to see the peak of a newly hot artform - and perhaps it's best teacher instructing LIVE ON STAGE (and being funny, don't worry)
