Eric Davis

Red Bastard is a bold and provocative character created and performed by Eric Davis, a seasoned clown, actor, and director. Trained in classical theatre and bouffon at institutions like the Dell'Arte International School and under Philippe Gaulier, Davis blends satire, audience interaction, and physical theatre in his performances. Red Bastard is known for breaking the fourth wall, challenging audiences to confront their fears, lies, and desires. With a red, bulbous costume and a confrontational style, the character has garnered acclaim at festivals around the world, including the Edinburgh Fringe and Just for Laughs. Davis uses the character not just for shock or laughs, but to push boundaries and provoke transformation. Through Red Bastard, he redefines the role of the clown as both trickster and truth-teller.
