He is a clown for a sophisticated and loyal public of traditional theater enthusiasts by a dreaming writer-creator who leaves the audience refreshed.
Fan mail from previous iterations:
“Some colleagues and I were in the show yesterday. It’s so good to see something different! It was sooo refreshing, just Wow!”
“Very few, if any, are of the same quality as Forlano. I have told as many people as I could to see this show, and every single one of them, without fault, has been blown away.”
“You are funny and cute. Looks like you are in town for a bit. Want to get a drink?”
“It was screamingly funny - let me know if you plan to come to europe - i'll be there ;-)”

Daniel Forlano toured acts with Venardos Circus (USA) and GOP Varieté in Germany. In traditional theater, he played Ellard in The Foreigner and Sgt. Cadwallader in The Unexpected Guest, both with Stratton Players (MA). His first speaking role on film was in the short Hayim (2024), but his most notable part is an uncredited action sequence for Aftermath (2024). Before clowning on stage, he devoted half a lifetime to performance on the street. He lives, but is not settled, in Massachusetts.
