DIXON PLACE
The New Home for The New York Downtown Clown Revue
October 2010 NY Downtown Clown Revue has many new surprises in store for the audience.
Commissioned work by Kevin C. Carr and Nina Levine along with performance by Chris Allison, Jef Johnson and Hilary Chaplain.
To open the night Christopher Lueck performed a short clown Intro.
A pratfall is a wonderful way to open a clown revue!
The balloon took center stage.
Playing with the ball and the audience.
After the large balloon popped he had an audience member (Peter Daniel Straus) get the remains.

“CONEY ISLAND CHRIS”
One of his fun stunts is getting his tongue stuck in a large rat trap.
He was so excited to try out his new Xray vision glasses he had a woman audience member stand up as he put them on.
With a raw egg taped to his head he attempted to smash it with his new ‘bed of nails’ mechanical smasher.
Travel far and wild to see ‘CONEY ISLAND CHRIS’ do this act.

Host Christopher Lueck introduces the next act JEF JOHNSON

JEF JOHNSON
An abstract clown piece from head to toe.
Walking on stage he was pulling a balloon on a string.
Balancing on top of a ladder listening to a ipod. Audience could hear silence.
After having recruited audience members he was pushed around the stage through the maze of music stands.
In and out of the music stands on stage until he reached the original starting point.
The little balloon that finished the piece intact with him.

One of the fun audience participation segments is:
THE GAME!
Tonight’s game had two contestants that were given a deck of cards with many aces that needed to be found & run across the room to be put on a music stand.
The Winner was Monica who won 2 tickets to see PLAY DEAD at the Players Theatre.

NINA LEVINE – The Quitter
A Commissioned Work by the NY Downtown Clown Revue
What is must be like to try and give up smoking when you have a habit?
On all fours looking for that next cigarette.
Pleading with the audience to give her a cigarette.
Ahh..that is more like what I remember it to be like!
Collecting all the cigarettes from the audience members.
Having ‘QUIT’ she plays the flute as the lights fade out. Funny Piece indeed!

The Hoboken Hobo
A Commissioned Work by the NY Downtown Clown Revue
Flask in hand ready to take on the world.
Blowing up a balloon in preparation for a trick.
Pushing the skewer into the balloon with it popping.
Showing off that terrific ‘hobo’ physique.
Always wants to be in the ‘spotlight’.
Kevin C. Carr can be seen in the upcoming film The Ridiculous Romantic.

Host Christopher introduces the new VOTE containers.
Every month the audience is encouraged to VOTE for their favorite act/performer and at the end of the season the winners are selected and presented with
THE GOLDEN NOSE AWARD.
~~~~~~~
HILARY CHAPLAIN – The Diva
Dressed so elegantly and performing an aria so nicely.
Then the audience realizes she is pregnant. The show must go on!
The singing is divine.
But she still feels a little uncomfortable.
The ‘bambino’ is born and the diva completes her show!
~~~~~~~
Curtain Call for the cast. Drinking a glass of champagne to celebrate the New Season!
