BRIAN BOCK is an actor and clown from California. The youngest and most ignorable of 5 dysfunctional children, Brian blossomed from a shameful little cretin into a conduit for jagged humor borne of his inescapable ennui. He is happiest when performing his clown show, Soul Potato, in which he eats a rotisserie chicken with his feet—or, more generally, whenever he can disarm and delight with mild-to-medium grotesquerie. He is a member of Society Theatre Company, and an alumnus of NYU’s Graduate Acting Program.
