John Leo (Gold Medalist! 2007 NYC Clown Olympics for Eccentric Dance!) presents a show of exquisite beauty and brutal honesty. Colossal global superstar El Macho Del Norte has wandered off for good, leaving his overwrought sidekick pants down, curtains up. Our reluctant hero unpacks his baggage and turns himself inside out in a show filled with outrageous physical comedy, bittersweet melodies and buoyant gravitas. "An intimate portrait of a man in a moment of transformation " M.P. (Juneau, AK) "Existential Ice-Skating!" Anon Montreal Fringe Audience Buzz "Odd, uncomfortable. John is possibly Pee Wee Herman and Andy Kauffman's bastard son. In a good way. 5 Stars" Karyn Boulder Fringe Audience Buzz Bio John Leo received his BA in Drama/Dance from Bard College ('97) , The
work that he created there was somewhere between 'dance' and 'drama,' so
he found the Dell 'Arte School of Physical Theatre ('99), where he was introduced
to the world of Clown with Ronlin Foreman. He went on to study Clown with
Sue Morrison and Ricardo Puchetti. From 2001 to 2008 he lived in the quirky
landlocked town of Juneau, Alaska, creating outrageous original performance.

Opera to Go, The Juneau Monthly Grind, Kitschy Yum-Yum Burlesque and Wild
Rumpus Clown Theatre (Best of San Francisco Fringe 2003). He has performed
Clown in the streets, community centers, theatres and Fringe Festivals throughout
Mexico,Canada and the United States. He has received funding from the Alaska
State Council on the Arts and the Rasmuson Foundation. He currently lives
