STAND UP AND CLOWN27 Jan 2025

James Mastraieni, Part One

The Clown Boss is back with his first interview of 2025! He’s speaking with teacher, improviser and comedy philosopher James Mastraieni! James has reached the highest levels of success at various major theaters – but has also battled management at every one, in an effort to maintain his authentic voice and honor his beliefs. He now runs his own classes and shows through The Shared Experience Studio.

Chad and James talk about their different performance philosophies and find they share a ton of common ground. Also, lots of talk about anti-capitalism, old stories and how to connect with audiences with or without a fourth wall.
