LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — Clown Daddy and Kathy Geary will perform at the Arts Nest on Saturday, January 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Clown Daddy, also known as Ellie J, is an actress-turned-clown who has found her home in the wilds of the Catskills. An NYU Tisch honors graduate and a drop-out of the prestigious Lecoq clown school in Paris, her focuses are physicality, slapstick and joy of the cathartic experience in live performance. “Clown Daddy” evolved somewhere between an accident and years of hard work developing a stage persona. She has become a staple part of the Catskills artist community. For more, visit clowndaddypresents.com.

Geary released an EP of original folk rock music titled “Sky High” in 2022, recording with her band named Cloud Cover. She has produced “Now & Then,” a live weekly public-radio program on Radio Catskill, since 2013. The program airs on Saturdays at 3 p.m., and focuses on singer-songwriters, their history and the latest music they’ve released. She’s performed operatically in Europe and the U.S. and with the Delaware Valley Opera since 2012, when she premiered the company’s production of Verdi’s “Otello” as Desdemona. Doors open at 5 p.m., and admission costs $20.
