Puddles the Clown (of Puddles Pity Party) is actually Big Mike Geier, an amazing vocalist, bandleader, and performance artist from Atlanta.  I first witnessed his “Puddles” character from onstage at the Manderley Bar in New York City, having previously been informed that I would be accompanying a 7 ft singing clown.  His act was incredible:  some highlights included Puddles’ intentionally awkward start (he wandered around, latern in hand, and then stood onstage for five minutes completely silent and motionless before starting), his non-use of clowning props (he brought out a giant flower and a series of nested suitcases, but did nothing with them), and his manner of connecting with the audience (at one point, towering over a girl that was nervously texting and singing glorious baritone high notes directly at her from above).  Above all, the idea of a giant, lonely, clown with an amazing singing voice struck me as simple yet brilliant performance art.
