Get to Know Clown Class Clowns

---

Dr. Brown (aka Philip Burgers) learned about comedy and silliness at the Ecole Philippe Gaulier. Since then, has travelled and toured solo and kids shows around the world and has worked in TV and film as a director, writer and actor. He has been teaching clown workshops all over the world since 2009. His 2012 solo show 'Befrdgth', won The Edinburgh Comedy Award 

Julia Masli is an award-winning clown from Estonia, based in London. All she wants to do is solve people's problems and eventually win the Nobel Prize, presented to those who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind. But this plan keeps going wrong, as she continually wins prizes for comedy.

It was bad enough when she was the winner of the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality in 2019 and her debut show Choosh–about a migrant's struggles in the USA–was one of the most acclaimed comedy shows of the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022. But in 2023, things spiraled when she set out to help audience members in ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, which you can read about in the New York times here. 

In addition to her work as a performer, Julia has taught at the prestigious École Philippe Gaulier and at various drama schools in the UK.

Josh Glanc is a multi-award winning clown. He trained at École Philippe Gaulier, the John Bolton Theatre School  and with Giovanni Fusetti and Spymonkey. His Edinburgh Fringe show this year was nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award. He's been called an "extraordinary talent" by The Scotsman.

John Norris is an absurdist comedian and actor based in Los Angeles. He is best known for his wildly popular solo show, MR. CHONKERS, which has sold out a month of shows at consecutive Edinburgh Fringe Festivals since 2022. He’s worked with premiere live entertainment companies like Spiegelworld (hosting their hit show Absinthe) and with Cirque Du Soleil. He trained at Groundlings, UCB, iO West, and the Idiot Workshop with John Gilkey.
