Vodka and Me

So after Chuncheon Mime Festival, I headed out to Poland for a four city tour..

Kalisz, Brzeg, Wroclaw and Zielona Gora..

Please oh Please, never ask me to pronounce them for you since I managed to butcher it repeatedly during my stay there

And it was all about BUSKERBUS!

Okay now...here's where it becomes a challenge..

Not only am I bringing an untested show on the street. This time I actually get to pass the hat!

geez...I wish somebody would have told me that Poland had the zlotky and not the Euro.
So instead of raking in all those European moolah...I settled on drinking lots and lots of vodka

I mean, C'mon, where else can I party with some dude with his boner hanging out?!

(bwhahahahahah...ehh sorry)

The basic schedule sort of went like this....

Check into each city... Priority One: Clean Clothes

So with a tennis ball in the sink and a dirty piece of rope...Voila!

Next up: Let's do some shows!

And then.. THE HANG!

The great things about my tour with the BuskerBus family were the improvised music/ performing jams..

The awesome artists from around the world

The patient volunteers and kick-ass festival bars..

All of it!

Yep, going to try to head back this August but I may be back in South Korea then..

Too bad, I was hoping to meet my drunk audience volunteer again that decided to get freaky with me during my set in Wroclaw..

This blog entry is for you, pal!

oh, why not, this guy as well..

“我是一位走不出男主角框架的性格演員。”

.....recently discovered in an old antique cook book:

"Page 88.- The ROB LOK Recipe

1/3 Silent Clown Greats- Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd
1/3 Looney Tunes
1/3 Hip Hop with a taste of Gyspy Punk

add a dash Tom Waits
with a sprinkle of old school Hong Kong Gangsta Flicks

small teaspoon of ass kicking, genre hopping, multi media twisting fun and excitement

Stir Well

Repeat

Serve Hot"

Born in NYC
Lived in Lower East Side
Raised in Chinatown
Short Stop in Arlington, Texas
Ran away
Joined the Circus
Moved to Hong Kong
with stops in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan

Rob Lok bucks the holy Chinese trinity of Doctor, Lawyer and Accountant by becoming the first Chinese American Circus Clown for a major American Circus.

After touring with the likes of Cirque Du Soleil, Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, he returned to his first passion of live theatre in New York City before embarking on his one man Vaudeville tour throughout the world.

He continues on his path of slapstick domination appearing in films and US television shows such as Late Night with David Letterman, Steve Harvey's Big Time, Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1 and enough weather broadcasts in the USA than you can shake an umbrella at.

Currently his travels has landed him in Hong Kong where he's enjoying his new role as a producer with a television pilot in the works as well seeing what's all the fuss about doing movies in Hong Kong.

他是一位常常帶給人歡笑的人。他的一舉一動可令大家開懷大笑。他的說話﹑他的神情﹑他的動作﹑他的一切都能把歡樂帶給我們。不做作﹑不假裝，一切都是自然流露出來的。有誰不喜歡這樣的人﹖他是誰﹖

他是Rob Lok.

Rob是美藉華裔演員﹑編劇﹑製作人及馬戲團表演者。Rob出生於美國，自小在紐約生活的他，不久便跟隨家人搬往德州。其後入讀評論家盛讚的Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey大學學習和研究馬戲團藝術，技巧和身體戲劇。這包括默劇訓練﹑舞蹈﹑武術等等。畢業之後，Rob在世界頂尖的馬戲團Ringling Bros.和Cirque Du Soleil參與小丑，雜耍及雜技演員等工作。

接著Rob便返回紐約追求他熱愛的演藝工作。

Rob的冒險精神驅使他周遊列國。最近，Rob就到來香港這個大城市。

在這裏，他和朋友一起創辦了喜劇組合CB FRESH。 www.cbfresh.com

在這個集合中西文化的大城市　— 香港已成為擅長中英語的Rob發揮其創意及幽默感的最佳舞台。

Rob憑著他超過十三年的演戲經驗，為其獨特的作品注入源源不絕的活力及無限創意。

Rob的願望是能成為推動香港新一代電影文化的一份子。

“能創作，創造及演繹出如此出色的作品，正是這年青人才華的證明。”
