My name is Dr. Dashia Magee. I am an educator, writer, and professional clown based in Los Angeles. While studying comedy (specifically Improv, Character, and Sketch) at The Upright Citizen Brigade, I was first introduce to Clown. I’ve been able to use Clown to express my frustrations of being a public school teacher, the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, and the racism that occurs in Black Woman’s sexual health and reproductive rights. And through further study and reflection, clowning has also become a spiritual practice of the embodiment of the archetypal trickster. Thus, clowning for me has been (and probably always will be) experienced as a source of spirit that brings light to the darkness through laughter. My one-woman Clown show, Donkey: A Teacher’s Dissent Into Madness was recognized by The Black Woman’s Comedy Festival, UCB Spank Sessions, and most recently chosen for the 2023 Elysian Theatre’s Spaghetti Festival. I’ve also wrote, directed, and starred in Dr. Magee Clown Shorts. Besides clowning, I have also co-wrote and starred in an award winning web series, Staying Together, played my one and only slave in #TMI, and have been in countless Sketches and Improv shows throughout Los Angeles.
