LA Weekly called him “better than the real Elvis” Howard Stern called him “one of the biggest acts this year” in 2019. He caused a sensation on America’s Got Talent. He has been wowing audiences from coast to coast for over a decade. He is the King of Clowns, he is Clownvis! Clownvis’ legendary live show incorporates music, comedy, magic and more, all held together by his powerful vocals and charming wit. Don’t expect an Elvis impersonator!
