Shogun

Alex has a wild imagination and takes the audience on a journey through Japanese history that is strange, personal, and absurd. One of the most gloriously slapstick clown shows at Fringe, it fully embraces the spirit of the LA clown scene. There is so much packed into this show that I don't want to spoil any of it. You just have to experience it for yourself.... full review

I fucking loved this show. It's weird, it's funny, you're gonna be put outside your comfort zone, and I'm here for all of it.... full review

A really fun show! Alex is incredibly engaging and had multiple bits that paid off in a very satisfying way. He's a natural performer. GO SEE HIS SHOW!... full review

Attended this show with my friend and we had a really enjoyable time! I've never been to a clown show before, but if they're all at this level I'd love to see more. ... full review

I came in blind outside of the poster. So I had no expectations. I was left feeling delighted and pleasantly surprised.... full review

I'm happy and grateful that this got to be my first show seen during this Fringe season. Alex works with themes of translation, cultural identity, and finding joy and play amidst world-historical pain and loss (and at times amidst personal pain and loss!), all through some engaging, easy-to-play games shared with the audience.... full review
