'If there's a more inspired contemporary physical comedian - I don't know of him.'
The New Yorker

In a witty and engaging performance/demonstration, long-time Complicité actor, Jozef Houben, explains and illustrates what makes audiences laugh. His twenty year career includes writing and directing for groups such as The Right Size, involving him in some of the most successful physical comedy creations of recent times. His last performance at LIMF was in 1998 with Andrew Dawson, in their remarkable duet for four hands, Quatre Mains. He has recently appeared in Fragments at the Bouffes du Nord in Paris, in a special production directed by Peter Brook, staged to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Samuel Beckett's birth. He teaches at the Ecole Jacques Lecoq.
