Lorenzo Pisoni – Humor Abuse

    When you were a little kid, did you get into trouble by your parents for ‘clowning around?’ What if the family business you were born into was a circus and your father wore a red nose to work? Our guest, LORENZO PISONI was strapped to his father’s back in a steamer trunk by age two in the San Francisco Bay Area’s Pickle Family Circus.

His autobiographical one-man show is called, “Humor Abuse” and it’s at the Suzanne Roberts Theater through October 25th. Listen to the mp3
