I think he’s a great person to bring attention to the fundamental ridiculousness of the concept.
I know that he is big in the clowning world, I am seeing a lot of people who have “claimed” him as a result.
Personally, I have never taken a clown workshop despite my curiosity (because fundamentally it overlaps with my taste in comedy) but something about trying to teach or commodify it feels more cringey than most other forms of comedy.
I know everyone here will just dismiss it as silliness, but I do acknowledge that there is an art to this kind of physical comedy, I’m just not sure I want to “learn” about it.
I found him entertaining. But wouldnt go and watch an hour of it. My kids loved him, he looked like he was having fun. It was silly, and sometimes silly hits the spot. That show is so bloody serous and tugging at heart strings all the time, so nice to see someone taking the piss out of it a bit. If you are going to let the British public vote for things then lots of people will inevitably be disappointed.
“Viggo Venn?” was heard being shouted by a person with a particular speech impediment when they were looking at all of profk’s Irish personal trainer posts in the GTPoSMiv thread
