Meet
the Head Clown

   



So, what the heck is ?

Excellent question! Banned in Warwick Productions, under the direction of Adam A. Sullivan, self-styled capocomico*, represents the interests of a group of actors, clowns, comics, musicians and writers who have strong backgrounds in improvisation, and who love performing in front of live audiences.

BiWP serves as a production house for comedy of various styles. Primarily, the group is focused on the creation of one-act plays which are written by the ensemble, through improvisation in rehearsal, in a style which can best be described as either "non-traditional" commedia dell'arte, or even more accurately, a live human cartoon: fast, dense, all-laughs and all nonsense. (Many of us consider Wile E. Coyote to be a role model.) The characters are drawn from stock commedia archetypes, but the scenarios are completely original. The group is called Lick the Spoon. Frankly, we rule.

BiWP has also recorded 4 original radio plays before live audiences under the moniker
"The Sterling Radio Showcase". These original works were written to parody the style of radio broadcasts of the 1950's. The group uses sales of these recordings to continue funding future projects.
