Kiki Lovechild and Jack Stark – two clowns in one body!
With nearly two decades’ of experience as a cabaret and theatre clown, Kiki Lovechild has been a staple on the UK scene since the burlesque revival. He’s travelled extensively around the UK, Europe and beyond with a wide range of cabaret, vaudeville, burlesque and theatre shows. As a full time professional idiot, he has one aim in life – to make audiences happy.
“A virtuoso masterclass in physical comedy.
There are a lot of clown or physical theatre acts in cabaret these days … but his antics rise far above.”
This is Cabaret
” … very much impressed. He was definitely a highlight of the evening, which is impressive considering he was surrounded by such great talent.
Kiki regularly brought the house to its knees.”
Gay Times
Who are these fools?
Kiki Lovechild
Adorable but with a cheeky side, Kiki was bringing clowning back into burlesque before clowning was cool again. Whether through the hilarious stripping puppets, the sheer joy of his stunning butterfly illusion, the clever and quirky revival of historical routines, or the ludicrous spectacle of dancing in a huge pot noodle, he always leaves a lasting impression
Jack Stark
After a decade of performing just as Kiki, a new clown came bursting out of him. The neurotic but optimistic clown Jack Stark thoroughly embraces more modern clowning movements, and can be traced back to his influences from training at École Philippe Gaulier in France.
