The clown has a wonder for the world, an outlook so simple that everything becomes a game. It is this simplicity that becomes the starting point for play. Using improvisation, rhythm and devising participants learn about timing, style and how to create comic routines. Courses include the red nose, working the audience and opportunities to direct the play. This workshop is aimed primarily at adults and can be tailored for specific requirements.

"If you get the chance to do his workshop I highly recommend it. Not only was it fun and learning, I haven’t laughed that hard in years."

"I did Fraser Hooper’s clown workshop over the past weekend. It was a really amazing experience. Not only did I learn more about the physical side of comedy but I also felt that I learned more about the rhythm of comedy."
Joshua Samuels Wellington New Zealand

"I really enjoyed the three days that I got to participate in your Clown Workshop in Toronto. It was really great to shake things up a bit, think about everything a bit differently and have you push me past my 'little self' and into the domain where I was thinking less and clowning more"
David Aitkin The Checkerboard Guy Canada

"Dear Fraser Thank you so much for the really fabulous masterclass you took on Saturday. I really can’t thank you enough for everything you did.
You could tell how excited and happy the attendees were with the day and how thrilled they were at learning all these new skills.
So glad we have exchanged contact details as would be great to do a similar class if you are ever in Sydney and Melbourne. Thank you again and very best"
