Clownvis | Comedy Music Performer with The Real Big Bad! on Saturday, September 19th at the The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa!
•
LA Weekly called him “better than the real Elvis” Howard Stern called him “one of the biggest acts this year” in 2019. He caused a sensation on America’s Got Talent. He has been wowing audiences from coast to coast for over a decade. He is the King of Clowns, he is Clownvis! Clownvis’ legendary live show incorporates music, comedy, magic and more, all held together by his powerful vocals and charming wit. Don’t expect an Elvis impersonator! What you can expect is hilarious orginal songs and plenty of arbitrary hits to keep the crowd entertained.
