Description
While Messer Chups’ mostly instrumental sound is hard to neatly categorize, it’s safe to say that it would be embraced by fans of rockabilly, horror punk, vintage surf records, Italian slasher films, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Pulp Fiction, lounge music, the theremin, The Cramps, and the theme song from The Munsters. Their catchy music combines surf, vintage Russian melodies, rare film samples from the 50s and 60s, scratchy historical recordings, and lounge loops. Live, they explode with garage-punk intensity, all played against a video-collage backdrop of mid-century trashy cult and horror movie clips featuring Russ Meyer and Ed Wood, and superstars like Vampira and Bela Lugosi in a zombie mash-up.
LA Weekly called him "better than the real Elvis". Howard Stern called him "one of the biggest acts this year" in 2019. He caused a sensation on America's Got Talent. He has been wowing audiences from coast to coast for over a decade. He is the King of Clowns, he is Clownvis!
Clownvis' legendary live show incorporates comedy, magic, madness and more, all held together by his powerful vocals and charming wit. Don't expect an Elvis impersonator! What you can expect is hilarious orginal songs and plenty of arbitrary hits to keep the crowd entertained.
Over the years Clownvis has gone viral across social media platforms and has a large, wildly loyal fanbase. He tours regularly with bands like Insane Clown Posse and The Supersuckers , comedians like Neil Hamburger and Tim Heidecker, and headlines his own shows.

Hailing from the glamorous streets of Hollywood CA Clownvis Presley has accomplished more in the past few years than most entertainers achieve in their whole careers. In addition to hosting his own monthly variety show and MCing countless events his charisma quick wit and superior singing voice have earned him opening slots on quite a few high-profile shows. He has toured extensively and performed with superstars such as Little Richard Neil Hamburger the Dresden Dolls Jewel and The Goo Goo Dolls to name a few -- all of which has earned him the title "King of Clowns." Thanks to a controversial appearance on NBC's America's Got Talent Clownvis is now familiar to millions of people around the planet. His phenomenal audition must be seen to be believed (maybe even more than once). Clownvis also made a hilarious appearance on BET's Judge Karen's Court in 2010. The King of Clowns is a staple of the current Los Angeles comedy and music scene. Much more than just a party clown this showman does it all. In addition to hosting music awards festivals fundraisers and burlesque revues Clownvis is also a good guy donating his talents to charity events and non-profit organizations.
