Old God is a foppish, irreverent oracle. A singer of doom. A weaver of myth. A being so old they have forgotten their own name.
With beautiful costuming, painted canvas backdrop and fancy golden foot lights this white face clown seems to have pranced out of the theater houses of the 1800’s. Pantomime is performed alongside improvisational feats of language. No one can keep up as Old God buries the audience beneath a sea of imagery and play spinning wildly in topic but elegantly in body.
This dormant comedic relic comes to Toronto on June 25 to revel in these—the Final Moments of Entertainment.
Old God is Alec Jones-Trujillo. Since 2018 he has been performing in the Las Vegas hit show “Absinthe” at Caesar's Palace where plays the foul-mouthed host/comedian The Gazillionaire. He has performed over 1400 shows at Absinthe and will likely do 1400 more seeing as the show is highly improvised and different every time. While living in San Francisco for many years he studied clown by day and did stand up comedy by night. He graduated the Clown Conservatory at San Francisco Circus Center and moved on to study mime with Leonard Pitt and James Donlon five days a week at the Flying Actor Studio. He has worked with Cirque Du Soleil's John Gilkey on multiple projects including We Are Nudes, Wet The Hippo and The Murge. In Los Angeles he studied improv at Groundlings and UCB. Old God contains everything Alec has ever done--mime, improv, stand up, clown--all in the name of wild and inspired comedy.
