8: Artist's Brain - Juzo Yoshida - Clown Comedian, Improviser, Actor

Welcome to another Artist’s Brain episode where we interview a wide variety of artists and performers to discuss their approach to creativity and art. On this episode, we interview Juzo Yoshida, one of Stormchaser's oldest friends and a brilliant clown comedian, improviser, and actor. Juzo is a force of nature on stage - one second, he's making you laugh at his joyous absurdity, and the next second, he touches your heart with beautiful emotional honesty.

Here, we talk about how he went from being a real estate broker to a full-time actor and comedian, how he stays present on stage, and make sure to listen to the end where he talks about his pre-show ritual with seven mantras he says to himself before shows. You can find him on the series Two Pink Doors (now on Hulu) and Instagram @juzoyoshida.

Come join us! Stormchaser's performing improv Wednesday nights at 6 PM PST on our Facebook page! Find more info and connect with us on Instagram @stormchaserimprov, on Facebook /stormchaserimprov, and on our website at stormchaserimprov.com.
