What exactly is “clowning,” especially in 2022?

"That is what makes it challenging to teach,” Evans says. “You can’t teach a person to be a clown any more than you can teach them to be a human. You can only help them see and feel how they already are a clown.” Evans’ Nonsemble does a monthly showcase called “Month Long Ham Festival” that dares to do several clown pieces, in an order entirely decided by the audience throughout the show.

The rising popularity of what could be possibly considered a fourth form of live comedy, lining up right next to stand-up, sketch and improv, is of concern to the clowns, especially when so much of their work is rooted in being rebelliously uncool in the most fun-loving way possible. When asked if clowning could ever become too cool for its own good , Damiani doesn’t seem too worried.

Baked into the DNA of this era is a stark defiance of definition, but also a dedication to the absurdity of the human experience.
