Winner! 2011 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance
In a retrospective on his career, John Leguizamo delves into how he started performing, from attending a tiny acting class on the fringes of Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen to using his life as inspiration for his own one-man shows. All the success comes with ramifications, though: family, finances, and ego are all hit hard when his career’s trajectory becomes unclear. Originally performed as a one-man show, but now in a flexible-cast version, Ghetto Klown embraces Leguizamo’s trademark honesty and humor, proving the only way through life is forward.
Ghetto Klown premiered on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre in February 2011.

Though Ghetto Klown was originally staged as a one-person show, and the stage directions in this script reflect a solo performance, the play may be done with any number of actors.
Various stages in John’s life.
“Enlivened by substantial doses of Mr. Leguizamo’s brash, impish humor, the twisted showboating of a grown-up kid who knows he should stop cracking jokes but keeps doing it anyway.” – The New York Times
“A pro at this type of confessional memoir. He tells a punchy story.” – The Hollywood Reporter“From soliloquies on hijacked subway intercoms to landing a role in a major production to ultimately becoming disillusioned with the industry, Leguizamo explores compelling issues like the casting travails of Latino actors and his fear of selling out. But he also relies on the backstage titillation of tell-allism.” – Entertainment Weekly
