Hello Zaz,
I saw you at the Clown Service. At the end of the Clown Show you gave me a picture of you on a carousel. You are my favourite clown. Please can you tell me where you got your tape measure watch? Thank you.
Love from Noah (age 6) (with help from Mummy age 40!)
Hi Noah & Mummy! Thanks for your email! Nice to know that out of all those clowns at the clowns church I am your favourite clown! I started clowning around as a real job when I was a kid too, about 10 years old. I love my job as a clown, entertaining kids and big kids (Adults) too……. Clowns love big funny stuff, my watch is great it can measure time and anything really. This watch I made myself, they don’t sell watches that big in the shops I made a Jumbo Ipod with big headphones too! sounds great and looks funny too.
Again thanks for taking the time to write, Glad you enjoyed my clown show, see you next time! Clown Zaz ~:O)

So many Clowns in Church, it must be the Clowns Grimaldi church service 2012

Matt Zaz — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:37:32 +0000

As always on the first sunday in feb Zaz along with many other clowns attend the annual Grimaldi service. Its not your usual church service, clowns from all over the uk come to celebrate the life of Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837) said to be the father of clowns dating back to the pantomime clown also all past clowns are remembered with lit candles. After the service all the children, parents & general public are invited to watch the clown showtime, that includes me + many others in the Holy trinity church hall. click here for more info

Looking back on 2011 Zazzy highlights

Matt Zaz — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:20:19 +0000

Looking back on 2011, below are some photo’s of Zaz’s highlights. Starting with the Clowns International festival in butlins Bognor Regis, after all back in the early 90′s Clown Zaz was born here, every year clowns perform to the public, meet & share ideas. (This years festival is set, the weekend of 3&4th March) In March Zaz was booked to perform at a grand family party set in a 5* hotel in Bhubaneswar, India. An amazing experience working with other acts from Europe. The grandest child’s birthday i’ve been to yet! The stage was built & decorated for magic illusions, my clown show & lots & lots of live Bollywood shows, to amaze the 1500 or so guests & children. As I arrived back home from India The Guardian G2 magazine article on clowns was nice to see & quite interesting to……….the Guardian had interviewed myself & others from the clown fest in Bognor. For the Royal wedding day Zaz & friends spent most of the day at Hotham park in Bognor, the local council had set up big screens & other free activities including circus skills! once finished we quickly packed down & head back to Brighton as in my very own street there was a party in full swing! round two & the mini circus was set again but this time not on the grass but out side my house in my very own street! At least now ALL the neighbours know that there’s a real clown living in the street!

In May, like most years, Zaz met friends & clown performers on the annual “working holiday” that is the Danish clown fest in Svendborg. I think 2010 was my 8th time attending, & this year got some great press. A large pic taken in a dressing room on my iphone was printed in the Copenhagen Politiken news paper also a DK TV news program filmed at Tivoli in Copenhagen. Hope to meet all my Danish clown friends again this year!

The summer is here (or on its way) Very happy to be invited back to Glastonbury KidzField 2011, which is England’s largest Free Kidz festival. Its great treat to work along side some of the coolest acts for kids, many including the cbbc presenters, Gruffalo & Rastamouse & the easy crew. One of my shows in the BigTop was just before Rastamouse, so many kids & families had come to see his debut festival gig, I hope he digz my cool clown warm up! The Observer Sunday Glastonbury special featured a zazzy photo taken in the kidzfield, & (quote) its true Zaz prefer’s Rastamouse to Beyonce!

busy with summer festivals, kids party’s & school fetes, Zaz’s first time at the BigChill music festival in Herefordshire, the Little chill was great, listening to tunes on my giant Ipod was fun, the highlight for me, Dj Tom Middleton did a fantastic Dj set for kids, mums&dads, its great to see festival dj’s & bands playing in the children’s Zone at the festival! Lawnfest, Harvest, Hampshire Water & Out of the ordinary festivals saw the mini circus in full swing. With summer packed away in the garage, once again its Christmas season, Zaz Elf began early with Harrods xmas parade in london working with many great family performer friends, the usual busy shopping centres, sporting xmas lunch, one of my favourite charity gigs I have supported for years. Brighton FC kids xmas party is always great fun, pwb children’s charity show filmed in Brighton, hat juggling without the red nose for a change…..

I hope you enjoyed my Zazzy highlights, its been a great year & its nice to share my travels, thanks for all the help & bookings & kind feedback from friends, mums&dads, schools & entertainment people!…… Looking forward to more Cool Clown fun in 2012!

Last Thursday at the Marlborough Theatre in Brighton many performers including Zaz put together a great evening of cabaret entertainment to raise money & promote Children’s Charity Performers without boarders. A UK charity that works with vulnerable children in countries with high levels of child poverty. Giving these children an extraordinary opportunity to learn a wide range of circus and performance skills. Over £500 was raised on the night to help with their up coming trip to India.

Ooto festival 2011 photos

Matt Zaz — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:13:13 +0000

Another fine & Sunny time spent in the Circus area with good friends @ the Out Of The Ordinary Festival, a 3 day Eco friendly celebration of peace, community, fun, education and exploration. Always a nice calm end to the summer season, unlike the bigger festivals ooto is a collection of festival friends rather than ticket holders a lot smaller and greener with cool family’s enjoying the end of summer. My daughter and I loved hoola hooping and my 5 yr old son trying to uni cycle and tightrope. Brilliant time had by us all. Loved the show too (posted by a mum on the festival facebook)
