In the good old days before the pandemic I performed one-man shows at theatres, arts festivals, colleges and other settings worldwide. These shows include "Comedy in Motion," "Mr. Slomo," my slow-motion magic man, and "Funny Bones," in which I deconstruct the comic art of Charlie Chaplin. One of my favorite comic pranks is appearing as a keynote speaker who falls apart. I also do "Comedy Concertos" in which I battle conductors for control of symphony concerts and otherwise destroy the stately decorum of classical music. These programs include "The Classical Clown," "The Lost Elephant," "Charlie Chaplin at the Symphony," "The Haunted Orchestra" and others. You'll find video and reviews below.On film, I created the physical comedy sequences for CHAPLIN and BENNY AND JOON and trained Robert Downey, Jr. and Johnny Depp for their starring performances. I also played the vengeful wooden Indian who came to life in CREEPSHOW 2, and created Martian movement for Tim Burton's MARS ATTACKS! CHECK OUT MY NEWEST PROGRAM, "SHAZOOM!" BELOW. IT'S AN UP-TO-THE-MINUTE ONLINE MAGIC COVID-RELIEF EXPERIENCE.Specialties: Comedy, mime, physical comedy, sleight-of-hand magic. Comedy writer and author of "Charlie Chaplin's One-Man Show" and "The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin: Artistry in Motion."
