John Leguizamo's new one man show Ghetto Klown is a hilarious journey through his early beginnings in New York as a struggling hispanic actor to stage and screen acclaim.

Leguizamo known for Romeo + Juliet, To Wong Foo Thanks for everything! Julie Newmar, is also a Broadway star, Tony Award nominee and Drama desk award winner. Ghetto Klown follows on from his other one man shows Mambo Mouth, Freak, Spic-O-Rama and Sexaholix .....A Love story.

Leguizamo takes us on a madcap ride in a quest for emotional and creative fufilment. His entertaining tales of on-set encounters with Patrick Swayze,  Steven Segal and Al Pacino,  and his family opposition to his creative processes never miss a beat. Using mixed media, dance and music through the decades we get a true sense of time and place.

Directed by Fisher Stevens, this fast paced odyssey allows Leguizamo's talent for impressions, sharp observations and well timed gags to shine through.

Catch this great entertainer at the Charing Cross Theatre till 12th November.
