Clown Cardio
Clown Cardio is a one-hour play class that runs physical theater games, clown, and slapstick at the pace of a high energy workout. Founded in 2023 and since featured in The New York Times and Monocle, it began as a reaction against the parts of improv and clown training that slow things down—the notes, the theory, the standing around. What's left is just the games, played hard enough to count as cardio. It lasts an hour because that's about all you can take. All fitness levels welcome. No experience required.

Jaymie Parkkinen is the founder of Clown Cardio. Based in Los Angeles, Jaymie has taught and performed comedy around the world, training in improv and clown across more than a decade and in more countries than is strictly reasonable. Catch Jaymie this festival in The Live Direct Show.
