Stefano Iaboni is an international actor, clown, performer and teacher. He was raised in Rome, Italy, and found his way to a circus school in Holland in his early 20s. Not happy with the freezing cold weather, the food or the school itself, he took off for Barcelona where his career took a turn.
Feeling an inclination to move away from the traditional circus arts, he became inspired by the nouveau clown movement through his work with master clowns such as Johnny Melville, Christian Atanasiu, Jango Edwards, Leo Bassi, Jef Johnson and Sergi Estebanel.
He spent the next 10 years in Barcelona working for theater companies, acting in movies and comercials, participating in street festivals around the world and starting his own sketch comedy cabaret. He studied stage theater and film acting as well as taught workshops at the “Nouveau Clown Institute-Barcelona”.
He currently lives in Portland with his wife, Deanna (co-founder of Gourmet Comedy) and 3 year-old daughter who wants to do a show with her papà someday. He offers nouveau clown workshops in Portland in between touring the globe performing with his duo "The Beat Brothers".
