About Clown Gym

After 10 years of joyful community building, Clown Gym is on hiatus for the rest of the year.

Clown Gym started in 2014 as a collaborative member-sourced experiment in play. Over the years it has grown into New York City’s home for clown and physical comedy by building a thriving learning environment and community.

Clown Gym’s mission is to build community, spread joy, and support artists as they embrace their humor, beauty, vulnerability, skill, intelligence, passion, and dreams. We do this through affordable high-quality training, teacher mentorship programming, new work development, performances, and community events focusing on clown and physical comedy.

All are welcome when you bring your sense of curiosity and play! More...
