Chad Damiani

(He/Him)

Chad Damiani has spent over a decade as one of the architects/leaders of LA’s dynamic modern clown scene. He leads CLOWN ZOO (an all-star ensemble that employs theatrical mask) and is the creator/star of the hit monthly show STAND UP AND CLOWN - where he directs well-known stand-ups as they attempt clown work for the first time. He also performs solo work at traditional comedy clubs and variety shows — including regular spots for the international sensation STAMPTOWN and an appearance on AGT. In 2024, Chad will appear in TBS’s reboot of JOE SCHMO as a series regular.

When Chad isn’t traveling and teaching, he’s often working for the Vegas-based circus powerhouse Spiegelworld (he’ll be appearing in the upcoming Formula One-themed clown show BOX BOX this November). In past lives, Chad worked as a Blacklist-winning screenwriter and as an announcer for World Championship Wrestling (where he learned from the greatest physical storytellers in the world).

After relocating in 2019, Naomi currently resides in Portland where you can see her performing at Kickstand Comedy in shows like Secret Aardvark, Velodrome, Broke Gravy & Friends, and GORP. Naomi would like us to note that she is a Pisces Moon, whatever that means.
