“Unique Derique” Free Kids’ Show in the Park (2024 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

A beloved Bay Area institution, the Unique Derique is a prince among clowns, an internationally esteemed performer who has honed a singular blend of physical comedy and hambone body percussion. Derique (aka Lance McGee) started clowning in Berkeley at 15 with Circus A La Mode and later joined San Francisco’s Pickle Family Circus. He’s also a licensed drama therapist and school counselor who teaches mindfulness. Whether he’s in a park, Harlem’s storied Apollo Theatre, or collaborating with Bobby McFerrin or The Temptations, the Unique Derique earns gales of laughter with his wildly imaginative skits.
