Matthew offers a few comic characters that are not what most people think of when they hear the word "Clown." They fit best into a category that has come to be called:
New Vaudeville-
-Virgil Yukon, Canadian Mountie- physical comedy, whip cracking, and always very polite.
-Charlie Chaplin- the classic little tramp, presented as a silent character.
-The Marionette- A twist on the classic puppet. Matthew hangs from strings attached to a control floating over his head.
-The Musician- A tailcoat, a folding chair, a music stand and an instrument. So much opportunity for physical comedy, he may not ever get around to playing a note.
-The Four Legged Man- Just what it sounds like. This guy's got four legs. A classic bit that remains just plain weird.
Photos are on the way...
