Kiki Lovechild

This year Kiki celebrates 20 years experience as a cabaret and theatre clown, having been a staple on the UK scene since the burlesque revival. He’s travelled extensively around the UK, Europe and beyond with a wide range of cabaret, vaudeville, burlesque and theatre shows. As a full time professional idiot, he has one aim in life – to make audiences happy. 

He has trained with the masters of clowning including Gaulier in Paris and de Castro in London, and he combines this training with experience in mime, physical theatre, puppetry and illusion. His theatrical projects, including ‘The Weatherman’, ‘Sheets’, ‘The Man Who Knows Everything’, ‘Et Moi’ and ‘Tea, Bee, Sea’, have gained four and five star reviews. His earlier theatrical projects were less successful... 

Away from cabaret and theatre, Kiki has spent time directing and teaching clown skills in Cambodia, touring the UK with the circus, and delivering performance workshops at festivals and drama schools. 

Kiki will be performing at LAUGH YOUR KNICKERS OFF on Friday 2nd May at Todmorden Hippodrome.
He will also be teaching his workshop CHARISMA & STAGE PRESENCE - LESSONS FROM A CLOWN on Saturday 3rd May at the Todfellows Space.
