- ... that clown Julia Masli (pictured) found success by shaking hands with audience members using her feet? Source: “ After returning to London, Masli struggled to make it as a clown. At one point, she stopped performing for 18 months and became so depressed she couldn’t get out of bed. Things only changed in 2019, she said, when she took her first show, “Legs,” to the Fringe. Made with the Duncan Brothers, two other clowns, it featured skits such as Masli shaking hands with audience members using her feet.Only two people saw the first performance, Masli recalled, but the show won a prize for comic innovation. Masli now tries to highlight the appendage in all her shows. “‘Legs’ saved me,” she said. “It was the biggest ‘Keep going.’” Last year, she returned to Edinburgh with “Choosh!” a solo show about a migrant struggling to make it in the United States, for which The Daily Telegraph named her the Fringe’s “best sad clown.”” NY Times

Overall: 
It copies several sentences and long phrases directly from the NYT piece, too many for my taste when it's such a short article. Also needs qpq. AryKun (talk) 15:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
