Lovingly coined “The Nimble Rogue,” Seattle-based Clown and internationally acclaimed performer Mick Holsbeke has a ravenous appetite for the absurd and ridiculous. His unique perspective on clowning, exuberant physical acting, and circus expertise were developed at the prestigious École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal and, later, at the Hangar des Mines in France. As a Clown & Circus Artist, Mick performed with internationally renowned companies such as the Cirque du Soleil, Teatro Zinzanni, The Seven Fingers, Cirque Plume, and his own solo show Moby Mick, bringing hilarity and comic innovation to hundreds of thousands of spectators around the world. Watch Mick and his Clown Garage family bring their unique brand of unexpected playfulness to Esther Short Park throughout the festival—and when you least expect it.
