    The Clown Boss is back with a solo episode recorded from the road. When you first start doing clown, a lot of time is put into learning when to make an exit. But when is there value in overstaying your welcome? How can time serve to soften up the audience for even dumber and more joyful games?

    LA MAY CLASSES!

    Chad’s mask workshop is sold out, but a few spots remain for both his Elysian class and his original Disruptor class at UCB later in the month.
