David Gilmore

David Gilmore offers a distinctive approach to personal development through clowning, humor, and creative play. His work is aimed at people seeking greater lightness, humor, and room for change in their lives. He provides a supportive, trusting environment where participants can feel seen and encouraged, while learning to recognize comedy even in serious situations. Through clown play, they explore practical ways to act with greater freedom and confidence, both in everyday life and on stage.

Gilmore’s offerings include introductory courses, seminars, day workshops, player training, experiential evenings, and yearlong groups. Topics include the relationship between humor and wit, the power of laughter, creative play, and the tools of humor. He also organizes a summer clown camp for adults and families, including people with children and those without. Events are held at venues in Germany and Austria, and the website provides schedules and booking information. Visitors can also find his blog, guestbook, newsletter, shop, and information about his book, including its newly available revised edition.
