[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Ian Bratschie is pleased to announce the world premiere of his new solo show Todd Macabre, directed by Cassie Ahiers, playing June 14 – June 29 a the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2025.
About Todd Macabre
For over a decade, Ian Bratschie has haunted the L.A. clown scene as both performer and teacher—and now he unleashes his beautifully deranged solo show onto the Hollywood Fringe Festival like a lightning bolt into Frankenstein’s lab. Born with a deep obsession for the gothic and grotesque—from Jekyll and Hyde to Mary Shelley—Ian invites you into a fog-drenched dreamscape where classic horror collides with modern vulnerability. Cloaked in a cape and crowned with a top hat he has no business wearing, Ian becomes Todd Macabre, your unreliable narrator, leading you through the eerie woods of his neurodivergent mind. This is clowning at its most exposed: a wild, theatrical autopsy of queerness, internal battles, and the strange joy that lives in unearthing the truth, even when it terrifies you.
