Quickly you lose yourself in Alex’s quirky world and join those around you in this interactive show

Everyone's laughing at the wordless humor

Meet Alex the Jester: an impish character who combines the physical comedy of a master clown, the spectacle of circus arts, the wonder of magic,  and a delicious streak of mischief. With expressive movement, hilarious facial expressions, and a language all his own, Alex creates a world where the impossible seems possible, the ridiculous makes perfect sense.

This is comedy without borders—and an experience your audience helps create.

A Fool's Journey Around the World

Alex Feldman's fascination with connecting across cultures began at age eleven, when he spent his paperboy earnings collecting old issues of National Geographic. He longed to find  a way to find a way to connect with  far away people.

His path took an unexpected turn.    His fascination with foreign cultures led him to study anthropology at Reed College. He improved his job prospects by dropping out  of college, and enrolling in The Dell’Arte School of Physical Comedy.  But first he could no longer get loans for this clown school, so he paid for it with a 6 month stint working in Alaskan canneries.

There, he began the serious study of funny faces, mimicry, and silent films.  Alex isn’t a silent mime. He speaks  Grammelot: a wonderfully expressive blend of gibberish, invented sounds, and theatrical nonsense that somehow communicates the basics.

An International Language of Laughter

Alex's quest to discover  the sliver of comedy that transcends language has taken him  far beyond American stages. The U.S. State Department sponsored a goodwill tour of Russia, including performances in Moscow theaters and Siberian orphanages. Public Radio International described Alex the Jester as a cultural ambassador.  He's performed on stages in  Mexico,  France, Belgium,  Italy, Singapore, China, Korea and a dozen tours in Japan.   

Not Just a Show. A Shared Adventure

Alex's performances combine the visual flair and physical skills of circus theater with an eccentric, mischievous humor all his own. But what truly distinguishes the show is its spontaneity.

Alex doesn't simply perform for an audience.   He invites them to play along.  It often starts slowly at first.  An unexpected sound,  a raised eyebrow.   He's uncanny at encouraging folks to do more and more.   Bit by bit, it escalates, as he encourages willing volunteers to surprise themselves as they bust loose.  The audience becomes a co-creator. Every performance is unique, and everyone shares in making it happen. By the end, people aren't just laughing at the same jokes; they're sharing a moment of delightful absurdity that brings them closer together. They may even leave walking on air—and speaking gibberish on the way home.

Clean comedy? Absolutely.  A 'kid show' ? Absolutely Not.

Alex performs clean comedy, making the show a welcome choice for performing arts centers, community programs, and theaters serving audiences of different ages. Children delight in the antics, physical feats, and silliness. Adults appreciate the artistry, unexpected wit, and subversive spirit of the wise fool.

This is not a kiddie show. Think circus-style showmanship, astonishing physical skills, playful theatrical invention, and a healthy dose of laughter—all wrapped in a character who reminds us that it's okay to be gloriously ridiculous.

For theaters, Alex offers an opportunity to introduce younger audiences to the magic of live performance while giving adults plenty of reasons to join the fun. For libraries and community presenters, his work offers something especially appealing: an experience that transcends age, language, and background.
