Clown Corp LLC
Celebrating its second birthday in 2024, Clown Corp LLC is a decades old corporation from the 60s probably. We specialize in business, clowns, and business clowns. Clown Corp’s founding and only members are Julia Byrne, Nathan Ray, Tommy Sullivan-Lovett, and Jake Krakovsky, on a ceaseless quest for theatre that glorifies sex, violence, and laughter.
Clown Corp’s debut show BUSINESS DOING PLEASURE WITH YOU was awarded the Audience Choice Award in the 2022 Atlanta Fringe Festival. They continued partnering with Fringe in the Five/5ths of Ghostbusters fundraiser show with their opening section BUSTIN’ HARD OR HARDLY BUSTIN’. Their most recent production is the flagship project from Emory University Theater Studies Department’s Alumni Workshop, which creates opportunities for alumni to develop new work.
