RecluseArts Los Angeles, California US Owner - Founder
About me: There are more than enough clowns and entertainers in this world so I don't think of myself as either. If the truth is funny to you come check me out. And if you believe that "The Truth" changes day to day and depends strictly on who you're talking to at the time, then you really need to come see me because we're halfway to being friends already.
Who I'd like to meet: Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Dave Chapelle, Patrice O'neal, David Fincher, Doug Stanhope, anybody working on the Farallon Islands, Vince Morris, and people who understand that "serious" jokes are the funniest.

PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE is THIS WEDNESDAY at Bordello in Los Angeles!
We are celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY and will be doing a show dedicated to the films of director David Lynch featuring burlesque acts inspired by each of his films from Eraserhead to Twin Peaks to Inland Empire. Even if you aren't a fan of David Lynch, there will be plenty of beautiful burlesque performers to enjoy on stage...in fact, we will have more performers onstage at this show than any other we've done, so please join us in celebration of our birthday and the ART of tease!
