Buffoon Anonymous: 12 Steps to Inanity

Produced by Acme Clown Company
Created and performed by Adam G. Gertsacov

Buffoon Anonymous: 12 Steps to Inanity is a fictional autobiographical story about a clown who needs to quit—and can't. Through trial and tribulation, the clown wages an unsuccessful war on his own stupidity as he strives to find a cure for… well, himself. Buffoon Anonymous contains classic clown routines, addictive behavior, a circus ring, an obligatory avante-garde dance piece, the Acme Declownifier, and mediocre juggling. Performed and created by Adam Gertsacov, who is perhaps best known for his Acme Miniature Flea Circus.

"Full of silly sight gags, extended silences, galloping slapstick, and shameless borrowings from Road Runner cartoons… Quickly wins over the audience." – Providence Phoenix

"Gertsacov holds the audience (and the performers) in the palm of his hand." – Los Angeles Times
