JUSTIN SCHANTZ certified reviewer June 22, 2026
Had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Deshawn and Jamonté go all-in on spontaneity and the result is exhilarating. I never knew what was going to happen next, and gasped more times than I can count. The performers are perfectly matched. Their chemistry is undeniable and together, they navigate the chaos with generosity and great comic timing. Beneath the absurdity are two portraits of identity and the experience of being gay in the military. Those personal stories ground the piece, and give it just the right amount of depth. ... full review

This show felt so geared toward making the audience feel JOY and community in stupidity, and then out of nowhere hits you with two artful, funny, deep stories about seeking meaning and belonging. I’m joining up!... full review

Clowns of Color come out with the confidence and chaotic energy that keeps the audience on their toes the entire show. Absolutely lovable, hilarious, nerve-racking, and exhilarating. It was personal and, in the best way, so stupid. I feel lucky to have seen two people bring something so joyful out of a difficult part of their lives. ... full review

Clowns of Color performed a hilarious exploration of toxic masculinity, delayed dreams, finding your identity, and surviving the toxic culture of the military. The show is as unpredictable as it is hilarious. Buckle up and don't forget to keep hydrated. ... full review

A duo at the peak of their craft - cirque, clown, raw vulnerability. I feel blessed to be able to catch it! 100% a must see of the festival. ... full review

LAUREL KATHLEEN certified reviewer June 07, 2026
Superb clowning + storytelling: first a wildly engaging clown performance, and then two very different personal stories about how they each went from the military to a clown duo. Plus truly impressive physical feats and stamina for what they're doing and for how long (no spoilers!). ... full review
