I got the chance to interview John Gilkey in his Hollywood backyard this week. If you’ve ever seen Cirque Du Soleil or the Oscar-winning movie Ratatouille, then you’ve seen John Gilkey’s amazing work. A clown and performer for over 30 years who’s performed for over 3 million people, and a creative force behind the comedy in Cirque shows like QUIDAM, DRALION, VAREKAI, and most recently, the IRIS show in Hollywood, John has incredible things to say about clowns—their comedy, their danger, their anarchy, and their truth—and why we need them more than ever. Hear it this Sunday on Jimmy’s Potpourri, LA’s #1 underground radio station. Tune in from 9AM till noon online from anywhere at www.killradio.org
UPDATE: the John Gilkey interviews are up on Soundcloud. Listen below!
