Get a Grip! is about an ex circus performer turned stagehand with high hopes to be the next superstar! Our underdog is preparing for the big show by doing work they always do in the shadows. But there's a big problem: the artists never arrive! Our burnout turned hero struggles to rise to the occasion due to their own battles with addiction. Will our backstage hero rediscover their desire to have a better life and fulfill their dreams once again!?
This solo clown show uses physical comedy and circus acts rarely seen in the US such as: plate spinning, jar juggling, 12ft bamboo pole umbrella manipulation. If you don't know what those things are, you better come find out! Be whisked away to a distorted realm of this oddly eccentric "underdog" and their authentic and strange reality!
“The poetically mischievous clown, Faeble Kievman, infuses his clowning with moving depth .. Faeble’s employment of pole-balancing and jar juggling provides audiences with glimpses of
Chinese skills rarely seen in America”.
— Judy Finelli, Spectacle Magazine
