The Directors
Tiffany Riley and Dick Monday have been partners for 15 years. In that time, they have trained all the clowns for the Greatest Show on Earth, created the clown troupe The New York Goofs, and opened Slappy's Puppet Playhouse in Dallas. In performance, they are the clown team Slappy & Monday who have appeared from China to Mexico, from the Middle East to Paris, TX, Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center, and lots of circuses and festivals in between.
As Director of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, Dick traveled to 30 cities each year to help find and train clowns for producer Kenneth Feld. He has been seen as a funnyman in such classic films as Brain Donors, My Life and Sweet & Lowdown.
Tiffany has been the driving force behind the NY Goofs' Ultimate School, cultivating students each year from all corners of the world. The finest faculty in physical comedy is assembled every summer to impart their skill to a new generation of clowns and physical comedians.
Aside from teaching, Tiffany & Dick create shows for theatrical clowning, circuses, festivals, and even for marionettes. Their goal is to inspire laughter wherever they go, and to prove that laughter is not just for the kids.
