Red Bastard is a Dangerous Seductive Comedy Monster!

After 5-star reviews and sold out shows across North America,

Europe, and Australia, America's premiere bouffon is about to scurry off and join with Cirque du Soleil to create a Hollywood show, but not before he unleashes a

pompous theatrical master class in this critically-acclaimed show.

His mission: to charm, disarm, shock and seduce.

His target: you.
Red Bastard is not clown. He is not here to please you. He has come to make you surrender.

Experience this exquisite monstrosity as he delicately leads you through a no-holds-barred theatrical master class- demanding to know nothing less than the existential query, "Who the hell do you think you are?" Lines will be crossed and laughs will be had in this interactive feast of biting wit, mischievous improvisation, and physical prowess.

Audiences should be prepared for anything to happen in this interactive show, in which Red Bastard engages the audience in raw conversation, uncovering ridiculous and disturbing truths.

Red Bastard has performed to sold out audiences at Just for Laughs as part of "LaClique", the Spiegeltent in NYC, The Dublin Fringe Festival, PS 122, HERE, Joe's Pub, the Orion Teatern- Stockholm, Cankarjev Dom -Ljubljana, Slovenia, and the American Repertory Theater- Boston Massachusetts among others.
