FRIGGIN’ CLOWN
Siberian Slava Polunin isn’t just a clown-he’s a human snowmaking system. In Slava’s Snowshow (at New York’s Union Square Theater), he acts as an inept caretaker of the universe, miming sunrises and skiing through the cosmos. And critics love him. Except Skiing and Rodney Blackwell of ihateclowns.com: “The idea of God as a clown is scary enough. But a clown and a mime? You couldn’t pay me to go.”
