Poofy du Vey in "Burden of Poof"
Schkapf is proud to present "Burden of Poof", the award-winning solo, adult clown show from New York's Courtney Cunningham. Born in the underground theatres of the NYC downtown variety scene, "Burden of Poof" made its world premiere at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, has since been presented in theatres and festivals throughout the US and Canada, and is now making its Los Angeles debut!
"Burden of Poof" is the story of Poofy du Vey: a bundle of nerves with big dreams and
even bigger fears. Poofy's got a lot to say if she could only remember what that was.
As Willa Rohrer of the Philadelphia Weekly put it, "I guess we all have a little bit of
Poofy inside of us"
But why should you see it? Because it's an experience. And you might fall in love. And
it's not the The Kardashians. See you at the show!

"hilarious and addictive... the result is both powerful and pure." - Liz Withey, Edmonton Journal
"It takes real art and timing to be a comedic actor. Some of the greats like Carol Burnett,
Lucille Ball and Lily Tomlin have paved the way for women in comedies. Enter Courtney
Cunningham as Poofy du Vey. With quick wit and timing, Cunningham can easily parlay any line into comedy." IQ, Albuquerque Weekly
"beautiful and very funny. If you've never seen a real clown show before, this would be a
great place to start."- Peter Vesuwalla, Uptown Weekly Magazine
"...has you engrossed from the onset. Courtney's natural ability to interact with the audience is just one sign of the many talents this actor has mastered." - Beth Marshall,
Producer of the Orlando Fringe Festival
"...Courtney Cunningham is a delight This kind of clowning is some of the most creative
theatre at the fringe." - Winnipeg Free Press
"blends elements of clown, physical theatre and neo-classic vaudeville to create a turbulent, sometimes uncomfortable but always comedic environment of refined chaos" - Blake Davis, Duke City Fix
"... a quality production where the main character leaves her heart on the stage. I can't stress enough how this show has restored my faith in theatre." - Robin Duff, Squigfest Producer, Toronto, ON
