The free live broadcasts of Christopher Lueck’s Clown Summit interviews, which I wrote about here, have come and gone, but not to worry — you can now purchase a permanent copy. It’s $17 to download all the mp3s, or $37 for a complete set of CDs. Well worth checking out!
James Agee once wrote a famous book called Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, which was about tenant farmers who were in fact guys but certainly not famous, so I was going to title this post Let Us Now Praise Three Guys Who Aren’t Famous Either but Should Be for All the Cool Work They do Promoting and Chronicling Clowns and Variety Artists — but that title was already taken.
Yep, that’s what Wikipedia says: “Physical comedy, also known as slapstick…” And if you go on the Discussions page for their physical comedy entry, you read “I propose this article to be merged with the Slapstick article. There are a lot of information on this article that is much the same in the slapstick article, and hence redundant. In my opinion, the two articles will be more informative and detailed when merged.”
Christopher Lueck, producer and host of The New York Downtown Clown Monthly Revue, has a new project, teaching slapstick comedy by means of instructional videos offered through his new website, LearnSlapstick.com. Here’s the infomercial you’ll see if you go to the site.
