At Church of Clown, we believe in the transformative power of laughter and the boundless generosity of the clown spirit. We're not just a place for silliness (though we have plenty of that!), but also a sanctuary where humor heals, community thrives, and inspiration takes flight.Our mission is simple: to embolden humanity through community, teach resiliency through humor, find humility through service, and nurture inspiration through joy. We see a world where every smile sparks hope, every giggle strengthens resilience, and every shared laugh builds community.Your donations, particularly recurring ones, allow us to: provide scholarships to students, produce 2 festivals a year, and continue to create Company Work. Our last show, Space Suckers From Outer Space was a grand success and we hope to continue creating original clown plays for San Francisco and the greater Bay Area Community. But we can't do so without community support and funding. All donations are tax deductible. Thank you so much!

A devoted clown enthusiast and amateur historian, she channels the lineage of tricksters through her own body and stories on stage. Whoopsie is my clown and mime—a perpetual seeker of what she finds funny. She has an affinity for moths, oversized clothes, benevolent mischief, and blurting things out before they're fully formed.
