The Slappy and Monday Clowning Show

Profile

Monday plays the musical saw and stacks cigar boxes on his nose; Slappy plays concertina and gives her pal a hard time. Yes, it’s classic, edge-of-anarchy clowning. But husband-and-wife team Dick Monday and Tiffany Riley, founders of the theatrical troupe the New York Goofs, are two of the smartest, wittiest, and most demented clowns on the new vaudeville scene. See them now that they've returned from Jordan, where they were performing for Iraqi refugee kids. — Barbara Aria
