Barnaby King is a clown performer, researcher and teacher, originally from the UK. He completed his MA in Theatre Studies at Leeds University in 1998, after which he spent eight years working in the UK as a professional theatre director, specializing in clown, improvisation, and social interventionist theatre. He is currently undertaking a PhD in Performance Studies at Northwestern University, where his research revolves around multiple clowning practices and how they interrelate with social, political, and cultural scenarios within which they are located. He performs clown whenever and wherever possible, in theatres, cabarets, bars, city squares, hospitals, academic conferences, or in his living room, and he loves every minute of it! He trained with Sue Morrison, his wonderful clown mentor from Toronto, who also directed his acclaimed one-man show, Flawed Genius (which may still be seen from time to time)
