SHOGUN is a wonderful lesson in solo clown ! The way Alex engages the audience makes you feel you're connected with him right from the start as he explores himself through outrageous, expertly crafted scenes and games. ... full review

Alex commands the room and cracks it up! He's such a funny and loose and un-self serious performer, and I laughed watching him make himself laugh. A true clown. Cool effects. Goofy audience participation. Good times! Go see Shogun! ... full review

This kind of show is what Hollywood Fringe is all about, experimenting with form and audience. Alex did a great job immersing us all in the experience. It was fun!... full review

Honestly I didn't know what to expect when I arrived. Didn't help I was a few minutes late. But the moment I got seated I was in for a treat. I've never been to a clown show but I definitely feel like this set the bar really high for all the future ones I go to. The audience participation is what sold me. The fact that so many people were ok with going up and how effortlessly Alex had command of the stage was solid work. I can't wait to go watch it again on the 20th.... full review

Very funny!!! I haven’t been to many clown shows but Alex’s style of comedy and his bits are always a delight. I think if you like silliness, you’d like this show. There was a theme of connecting to Japanese heritage but even if you aren’t Japanese you will def be fine and will still have a lot to laugh at! ... full review
