Lloyd Brant is a professional clown. For over thirty-years he and comic life partner Rosie Cole have raised their family touring across America in an Airstream trailer, while performing together at fairs and festivals, with their trained chicken.
Now they live full time in Minneapolis, thanks to the success of their Emergency Clown Nose. Their familys trademarked design of a clown nose in a medicine jar distills into a handy bottle their mission of healing through laughter. Their Emergency Clown Nose is currently sold in all 48 of the lower United States.
As a playwright Brant has spent the last ten-years developing a re-imagined theater infused with circus, carnival, and magic created in the imagination through the suspension of disbelief. Brant believes that true magic can only be achieved through great storytelling.
