ClownFest:
Me, Myself, & Us

Meet Stefano Iaboni, the man who turned his journey through the performing arts into a hilarious international escapade! Hailing from the pasta-loving land of Rome, Italy, Stefano’s adventure began when he decided to spice up his life by attending a circus school in dreary ol’ Holland during his wild twenties. But alas, the weather was as unforgiving as a carb-free diet, and the culinary scene left him craving more than just cheese wheels and windmills.

So, like any sane person would, Stefano packed his bags and headed for the land of tapas and sunshine – Barcelona! Here, amidst the chaos of the bustling streets and the aroma of sizzling chorizo, he found his true calling in the wacky world of nouveau clowning. Teaming up with legends like Johnny Melville and Jango Edwards, Stefano dove headfirst into the whimsical art form, leaving behind the mundane woes of Dutch winters.

For a solid ten years, Stefano soaked up the vibrant culture of Barcelona like a sponge in a Sangria bowl. He danced with theater troupes, graced screens big and small, and even tickled funny bones at street festivals across Europe. And if that wasn’t enough, he went on to create his very own sketch comedy cabaret, because apparently, making people laugh just wasn’t challenging enough.

But Stefano’s thirst for knowledge rivaled that of a sommelier in a wine cellar. He studied stage theater and film acting while also moonlighting as a clown guru, teaching at the prestigious “Nouveau Clown Institute-Barcelona.”
