John Leo 

creates, performs, teaches and directs buoyant & vital physical theater.

PERFORMER

"Mr. Leo exposes the necessarily awkward and hilarious nature of human interaction. [His] versatile clowning makes for an utterly satisfying comedy that flows seamlessly even without a narrative plot."
Patrick Lee,  MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

          "John is possibly Pee Wee Herman and Andy Kauffman's bastard son. In a good way. Five Stars"           Karyn, Boulder Fringe Audience Buzz  

COLLABORATOR

"Handshake Uppercut will help raise the quality bar of clown-theater...every moment was totally alive"                     Stanley Allen Sherman, Maskarts Blog 

"Peg-ass-us was funny, like bust a gut, laugh out loud funny. The moments of raw, genuine honesty about a very taboo and sometimes confusing sexual desire really work, offset that with silly humor and it is a winning combination." Monk, TwistedMonk.com

TEACHER

“During class, John follows students’ pocess using empathic understanding while following and responding to the student’s feelings rather than leading them to a place that he thinks they should go. He challenges students to continually go deeper in their self-awareness, to use their emotions intelligently, and to use this power to connect with an audience." Edy Rodewald, PhD
