    Deadair Dennis is on the move, and he's dragging you along for the ride—whether you like it or not. The journey kicks off in Richmond, where things actually go surprisingly well... until they don’t. Cue some bad news to cap off an otherwise solid pit stop.

    From there, it’s a frostbitten trek through Virginia’s icy night into North Carolina, where Dennis hits two cities and strikes out twice. Not exactly a dream tour, but hey, at least the stories are worth the gas money.

    Get ready for a brutally honest road update with plenty of sharp edges. 🎉 Subscribe to stay updated with the latest episodes and join the conversation!

  • Inside the World of a Modern Jester: Alex Feldman
    Nov 22 2024

    Who finishes the Boston Marathon on a unicycle and still has energy to make the world laugh? Alex “The Jester” Feldman, the gibberish-speaking, rule-breaking performer who’s redefined what it means to be a “wise fool.” On this episode of So What Do You Really Do?, Deadair Dennis Maler digs into Alex’s extraordinary journey from anthropology student to Commedia dell’arte-inspired trailblazer.
    They discuss how a college juggling club ignited Alex’s passion for physical comedy, leading him to train at the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater, and how a pivotal performance at Montreal’s Just for Laughs launched his career. Alex shares stories about family tragedy, the unicycle stunt that turned heads (and caused some headaches), and the philosophy of being a modern-day fool with something to say. This episode is a masterclass in following your passion, bending the rules, and embracing the absurd.
    KEEP UP WITH ALEX
    While most comedy engages the language center of our brain, Alex’s visual humor, sight gags, and light-hearted music bypasses the head altogether and goes straight to the heart.
    Feldman’s love of music, comedy, cirque, magic and a touch of mischief ultimately gave birth to the impish rascal that audiences worldwide have come to know and love as Alex the Jester.
    The persona that Feldman has brought to life through Alex the Jester is one that combines the costuming and skills of Cirque du Soleil with a brand of humor that is seldom found elsewhere.He not only entertains with his hilarious routines — he inspires the audience to express themselves, and is ready to improvise with them at the drop of his floppy hat.They are co-creators.They know that, together, they’ve contributed to a show that will never be quite duplicated. With this shared accomplishment, many leave the performance walking on air and feeling closer to those around them. And some forget where they put their keys!
    He performs clean comedy. It’s perfectly fine if young people are present. In fact, theaters often book him as a means of developing the audiences of tomorrow. But make no mistake- this is no kiddie show! The costuming and skills evoke cirque du soleil, with an extra dose of laughter. Most notable, Alex takes the audience on a journey. They enter the world of the wise fool, where crazy sounding gibberish makes perfect sense. They laugh at that rare sliver of humor that is understood around the world. They get involved at his interactive humor, and by the end of the show, everyone feels a little bit closer to one another.
