Where do clowns go once they leave the circus?

Timothy L. Trujillo's journey from the colorful world of clowning to the profound realm of hypnotism and trauma therapy is a testament to resilience and adaptability. In this podcast, he delves into how a career he dedicated himself to was abruptly halted by a debilitating back injury. However, instead of succumbing to despair, Timothy found a new calling as a hypnotist, Reiki practitioner, Acupuncturist, and more, specializing in aiding HIV/AIDS patients.

His story transcends borders and boundaries, as he shares experiences from speaking engagements at the United Nations and leading outreach initiatives across the globe, from Guatemala to India, New Orleans to Cairo. Beyond HIV care, his work extends to addressing the deep-seated trauma endured by survivors of natural disasters and conflicts, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, and civil wars.

Timothy's own journey through pain became a catalyst for healing others, as he focuses on alleviating not just physical ailments, but also the emotional scars and immune disorders that often accompany trauma. Through his unique blend of empathy, expertise, and innovation, he has become a beacon of hope for those navigating the darkest corridors of suffering.

Join us for a fun romp told through the eyes of a clown.

Tammy Lang a/k/a Tammy Faye Starlite has come to be one of the brightest stars in the Downtown New York scene. She maintains a busy schedule of performances, guest appearances and benefits, not only in Manhattan but around the country including stints in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Chicago, St Louis, Pittsburgh as well as the farthest reaches of New Jersey and New Hampshire. She’s been a girl on the go-go since her soap opera days when she was a regular on The Guiding light portraying one of two “wacky maids.” Allison Janney was the other one.

Her Tammy Faye Starlite character is a chipper yet bitter country music singer whose reactionary rantings and authentically convincing Partonesque vocals made for sophisticated satire of the highest -- or lowest -- order. Her jaw-dropping repertoire included such ersatz country classics as “God Has Lodged A Tenant In My Uterus” and “Did I Shave My Vagina For This?” among other campfire favorites. Against all odds, the act was accepted not only in New York and LA but also in Nashville where her sold-out performances both scandalized and thrilled club goers.

In recent times, her startling feats of musical reincarnation she has created a new kind of cabaret. Equally gifted as an actor and singer, Lang deep-dives into the vaults of art-pop-rock-whatever and returns clutching buried treasures. In Nico: Underground-- her bio-show, as it might be called – she brings back the late Velvet Underground icon in all of her fuzzed-out, deadpan glory. With mentions of Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Jackson Brown, John Cale and Andy Warhol, she animates the character providing both historical context and up to the minute contemporary references.

With Cabaret Marianne, Lang salutes Marianne Faithfull one of the great, straight-talking divas of modern pop music, another foreboding yet tragically vulnerable blonde icon of the 1960s. She pays homage by performing a singular repertoire that is bitingly and world weary while commenting on the continuing downward spiral of the culture.

Her latest original incarnation is Tamar, an Israeli pop star with an international following on the comeback trail. She totally inhabits the persona, maintaining a convincing accent during narrative passages between note perfect songs performed in Hebrew and English. The performance is as immersive as a warm mikvah bath. Broadway World calls Tammy/Tamar’s performance of Yesterday, Today and TAMAR "Tammy Faye Starlite's maddeningly funny portrayal of the maddeningly self-serious Israeli chanteuse..."

Performances scheduled as of 9/14/22:
Rolling Stones - Pangea, New York City - November 3 and November 10
Nico - Joe's Pub, New York City - March 23, 2023

Hey, everyone, get ready to make a pivot to investigating the potholes each of us encounters as we navigate life.

The first pothole we will discuss is Lying: Part 1-Good Lying and Part 2- Bad Lying. We ABSOLUTELY are not going to explore lying in the media or government; instead, we are keeping it personal. Of course, we all lie, but I have never heard anyone say how much they adore liars. Why is that?

Drawing on the current research in Sociology, Psychology, and other sciences to create a broad understanding of how Lying serves us and how it can entrap us.

Join me for a fun talk about lying misconceptions, dealing with bad lies, learning how to be a more honest liar, and many other tips to navigate lying healthier.

I will be telling three lies in the Good Lying podcast. Listen to see if you can hear them, and I’ll reveal the lies in Bad Lying.
