John Leguizamo's “Ghetto Klown”

The Leonard Lopate Show | Apr 7, 2011

John Leguizamo and Fisher Stevens talk about “Ghetto Klown,” directed by Stevens and starring Leguizamo. The performance follows in the uncensored, uninhibited tradition of Leguizamo’s "Mambo Mouth," "Spic-O-Rama," "Freak," and "Sexaholix…a Love Story," and it takes audiences from his adolescence in Queens to the early days of his acting career in the 1980s avant-garde theatre scene to the sets of major motion pictures. “Ghetto Klown” is playing at the Lyceum Theatre through July 10.
