Davey's Bio
David Holzman, DAVEY’S creator, began his acting, juggling and unicycling career in the 1980's. While attending the prestigious Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theater, in 1985 & '86, David created the star of his one-man show: the hapless DAVEY THE CLOWN.

DAVEY is a clown of international acclaim. In 2008 and 2007, he appeared at Kid’s Festival, in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He has also appeared at the Tulip Festival at Huis Ten Bosch, in Nagasaki, Japan; the Happy Liuzhou International Clown Festival, in Liuzhou, China; the Kim Tom Clown Festival, in Shanghai, China, and the Festival für Straßenkultur in Nordhorn, Germany. DAVEY has also performed in Cameroon, on the African continent.

In addition to DAVEY’S international appearances, he has been seen at: the San Francisco New Vaudeville Festival. In Massachusetts, where he resides, he has also appeared at the South Shore and Cape Cod Melody Tents, The Museum of Our National Heritage, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace, just to mention a few. He has entertained at corporate events for such companies as Putman Investments, Gillette, and Children’s Hospital, and at many, many picnics (corporate and otherwise), town days, and birthday parties, all of which he remembers fondly! He can often be found at rubber chicken farms scouting new talent for his show. In 1994 David earned a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and Creative Arts in Learning from Lesley College, in Cambridge, MA.
