CLOWN THE WORLD
is Andrew Scharff, performing in as many places as possible for as many people as possible, with the simple goal of spreading laughter and connecting different people through the international language of physical comedy and circus.
After five successful tours that have spanned 15 countries with over 80 shows for over 8000 people, Andrew is hoping to continue in 2024 with another tour in South America, in a few, yet to be determined countries. Just like in the past, those performances could be for a local school, an orphanage, in a local community center, as a fund raiser for a local charity, or any kind of location that can hold a crowd of 100-1000 people.
Give ‘em a hand:
Do you know any people or organizations in South America that you think would appreciate such a visit? Let them know about Clown the World or let Clown the World know about them. If it doesn’t happen for the next trip, hopefully it will for a future trip.
