Director of the Clown and Comedy School
With 43 years of experience, Jean Saucier is reviving the Clown
and Comedy School.
Jean Saucier has been performing since the age of 11, graduated
the National Circus School in 1986 and began his professional
career with Cirque du Soleil at age 18 in 1985. Jean passionately
studies the art of clown and circus with a variety of masters
since 1978. Jean has created his own clown shows which have toured
across the world and ran his own corporate circus agency for over
a decade in Montreal.
In 2021, Jean’s dedication for the clownesque art has driven him
to revive The Clown and Comedy School, which was created by
Francine Côté and in operation from 2002 to 2018. Currently,
Francine Côté is training Jean in her theatrical clown teaching
methodology.
Jean is the new director of The Clown and Comedy School and, along
with his team of professional artists, will be here to support all
who are interested in the art of clown to help this noble
profession continue to grow and evolve
