Puddles Pity Party, the traveling roadshow of Puddles the clown and his simian-sapien companion, MonkeyZuma, began more than ten years ago as part of the Atlanta-based 'all clown’ band, Greasepaint. While the band broke up, Puddles decided to carry on becoming a fixture in the Dames Aflame showgirl revue and touring as a special guest in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live tour in 2010. In 2011, Puddles continued his travels, appearing as regular fixture at the Manderley Bar in New York’s now legendary immersive theater show, Sleep No More, before moving to Seattle in 2012 to appear in the European-style vaudevillian cabaret, Teatro ZinZanni. In 2013, following a US and European tour with the esoteric rock band The Eels, as well as being invited to appear at Austin's Moontower Comedy & Oddities Festival, Puddles teamed up with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox to record a captivating reinvented version of Lordes’ hit song “Royals” as an audio and video release. The video exploded on youtube with eight million views to date and spurred an avalanche of press about the ‘the sad clown with the golden voice’ and the track has sold tens of thousands of copies on iTunes.
Today, Puddles continues to travel the world with his Pity Party singing his sad pop anthems for all the party people. Grab a hankie and cry it out with Puddles!
