The many faces of Joel Jeske – A review….of sorts~

Post author By Jim R. Moore
Post date December 2, 2015

I have had the ultimate pleasure of photographing and videotaping Joel Jeske in many shows and moods in many venues over the past several years. I will attempt to post here a collection of images and such to reflect his incredible talents and charm.

Currently, he appears in the Big Apple Circus show “The Grand Tour” at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

But wait…he does not only appear on the show but he also Wrote and Created the show with direction by Parallel Exit’s Mark Lonergan.

Also, the clown material for this show was created by Joel Jeske. He performs the material along with the delightful Brent McBeth.

(these are not chronological)

First. Here is my Clown Un_Mask shot of Joel.

Next is a still from a video I did of Joel talking about ‘what is funny‘ in Sept 2011.

Joel Jeske opens his piece – “I have seen over 16 midgets today and it’s only Monday” by yelling the title at the audience.

Brent McBeth and Joel Jeske in a scene from the current Big Apple Circus show “The Grand Tour”.

Joel Jeske and ringmaster John Kennedy Kane perform the ‘Red Nose Transplant’.

Joel Jeske looks quite disturbed in this fantastic version of musical chairs with audience members.

Brent McBeth is seen behind Joel directing the Big Apple Circus Band. Did Joel lose this contest?

I expect to experience much more mirth and joy from Joel Jeske and hope to have to photograph it as well.

Do yourself a favor and see Joel Jeske perform live at The Big Apple Circus. Now till Jan 10th, 2016

The Clown Un_Mask – Mooky Cornish

Post author By Jim R. Moore
Post date February 19, 2014

Usually when you think of a clown…you think of a male clown.

But there are a few (should be more) wonderful women clowns in the world that have made their mark. (and are hysterically funny!)

Mooky Cornish is one of them. A veteran of Cirque du’Soleil and other world venues, she is currently performing in LA SOIREE in NYC.

Mooky plays piano, makes and performs with puppets, is a mask maker, accordion player, and always a great conversationalist!

Mooky was hesitant to have her picture taken without costume.

Mooky performing as ‘Gloria‘ at La Soiree in New York City.

Mooky gets her ‘volunteer’ audience member to sing along with her on one knee.
