The last episode of 2025! In this solo pod, Chad presents two different journal entries. Each deals with a different topic. How can applying clown to multiple kinds of comedy help expand your understanding of the work? When is it a good time to leave room for laughs and when should we charge through to build more energy? Also, lots of general philosophical talk about the most foolish art form in existence.
NEW LA CLASSES COMING IN 2026!
Chad’s mask class is almost full at The Elysian in mid-January. This is not a traditional mask class, but one designed to show you how masks are a tool for creating modern work. Also, grab tickets to Chad’s first big show of the new year – his WIP solo show COMEDY FOR SMART PEOPLE on January 8th!
