My Lil' Guy

My Lil’ Guy

Best New Mime Work - San Francisco Flop Festival 2025

“Deutsch owns the stage and gives an impressively engaging, at times moving, performance.” - The Daily Californian

What happens when the manliest of men gets a little too manly for us to handle? My Lil’ Guy is a mostly-mime epic following the travails of a clown who goes to town on his manhood, only to find herself face-to-face with their humanity. Come for the laughs, stay for the action, and leave contemplating the absurdity of our society.

This solo mime show premiered at the 2025 Flop Fest to rave reviews! We’re bringing it back to the Church of Clown for everyone to experience.

Trigger Warning: themes of sexual violence and guttural vengeance.
