Alice Gillette (she/her) is a boundary and button-pushing comedian and artist in the Denver comedy scene. Originally from Western Maryland, she embarked on her performance career in Portland, Oregon (if that’s okay) , before relocating to Denver, where she embraced the art of clowning (no worries if not!)

As a producer and performer, she’s presented her work across the West Coast and Colorado. With her friends, Alice created Idiot Theatre, Denver's first bi-monthly clown show, which ran from 2022 to 2024 at Chaos Bloom Theater and Rise Comedy, receiving accolades from local press outlets for its "startling yet goofy" characters. 

With a unique approach to contemporary clowning, Alice delves into themes of fatalism, patriarchy, and upward mobility through her clown Meat Show— a high-value man who’s a paradox of strength and vulnerability. Her portrayal of Meat Show has garnered acclaim from Denver Westword, which described her performance as a “fun and bizarre” experience.

In addition to her performance work, Alice leads creative process workshops for performing artists in Denver, emphasizing critique and feedback as pathways to spark grounded and profound ideas. She also hosts Uncanny Valley, a free monthly clown workshop at Denver’s Chaos Bloom Theater.

Alice is set to debut her first solo show, Meat Show in Space, in Spring 2025.
