Physical Characteristics

Meet the Act

I started my entertainment career in 2009 as a dancer at Luna Park Sydney. More recently I have started exploring clown work, and have been clowning for over a year. I am enjoying performing in public. I have performed as a clown in Bordeaux and I am looking forward to performing publicly in other French cities.
