City Worker

/

The City Worker cleans, fixes, and maintains any environment he's in with skills that are ridiculous and hilarious. Whether he’s vacuuming the lawn or dusting a single leaf, he’s always focused on perfection. This contemporary clown both amuses and confuses audiences with hilarious antics that are obvious to some and inconspicuous to others. By adapting and modifying mundane everyday activities, Ross turns simple acts of cleaning into hilarious satire as well as meaningful commentaries on society. Ross has been seen live by over one million people in 13 countries around the world. He's had repeat invitations with Just for Laughs, sold-out shows at the National Arts Centre of Canada, performed with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, and presented at most of the biggest and best events in Canada. www.circomedy.com
