Who finishes the Boston Marathon on a unicycle and still has energy to make the world laugh? Alex “The Jester” Feldman, the gibberish-speaking, rule-breaking performer who's redefined what it means to be a “wise fool.” On this episode of So What Do You Really Do?, Deadair Dennis Maler digs into Alex's extraordinary journey from anthropology student to Commedia dell'arte-inspired trailblazer.They discuss how a college juggling club ignited Alex's passion for physical comedy, leading him to train at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theater, and how a pivotal performance at Montreal's Just for Laughs launched his career. Alex shares stories about family tragedy, the unicycle stunt that turned heads (and caused some headaches), and the philosophy of being a modern-day fool with something to say. This episode is a masterclass in following your passion, bending the rules, and embracing the absurd. KEEP UP WITH ALEXWhile most comedy engages the language center of our brain, Alex's visual humor, sight gags, and light-hearted music bypasses the head altogether and goes straight to the heart.Feldman's love of music, comedy, cirque, magic and a touch of mischief ultimately gave birth to the impish rascal that audiences worldwide have come to know and love as Alex the Jester.The persona that Feldman has brought to life through Alex the Jester is one that combines the costuming and skills of Cirque du Soleil with a brand of humor that is seldom found elsewhere.He not only entertains with his hilarious routines — he inspires the audience to express themselves, and is ready to improvise with them at the drop of his floppy hat.They are co-creators.They know that, together, they've contributed to a show that will never be quite duplicated. With this shared accomplishment, many leave the performance walking on air and feeling closer to those around them. And some forget where they put their keys!He performs clean comedy. It's perfectly fine if young people are present. In fact, theaters often book him as a means of developing the audiences of tomorrow. But make no mistake- this is no kiddie show! The costuming and skills evoke cirque du soleil, with an extra dose of laughter. Most notable, Alex takes the audience on a journey. They enter the world of the wise fool, where crazy sounding gibberish makes perfect sense. They laugh at that rare sliver of humor that is understood around the world. They get involved at his interactive humor, and by the end of the show, everyone feels a little bit closer to one another.Website: https://alexthejester.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfeldmancomedy/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexthejester

As Founder and CEO of Alexander Daas, Alex Feldman drives the vision and growth of the brand, including its design and distribution, retail presence and ecommerce business. Feldman grew up in the business of opticianry, with his parents owning a small optical shop in San Francisco, California. In 2006 Feldman bought out his parent's small business and began growing the company. After over a decade of working on the sales floor and styling thousands of politicians, athletes, celebrities, locals and more, Feldman found a gap in high-end eyewear and launched his eyewear brand Alexander Daas. The collection focused on styles to fit narrow/petite faces––giving adults freedom from buying children's frames––a huge unmet need in independent luxury eyewear. Since then, he has grown retail operations with storefronts in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, and recently online at https://alexanderdaas.com/ (AlexanderDaas.com.) Feldman continues to build on his vision of opening luxury shops in quaint neighborhoods that feature skilled eyewear stylists, representing a true intersection of the medical and fashion industries. Feldman graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology. When he's not designing and developing new eyewear styles or connecting with the luxury eyewear community, you can find him spending time with his wife and three boys (their so called in-house “basketball team”), watching Rocky and traveling.

Fate can strike entrepreneurs in the strangest of ways. Just ask Lenny Verkhoglaz and Mila Feldman, a married couple whose unexpected Valentine's Day experience nearly a decade ago has given way to a successful business venture now expanding nationwide. “Cupid's arrow really struck us in an unforeseen way that Valentine's Day,” remembers Feldman. “One of our elderly neighbors was alone in her home after her daughter went on vacation — she needed a helping hand. My husband Lenny and I offered to stay with her and spent Valentine's in her home helping her out, sleeping on a floor mattress in case she needed help in the middle of the night. That experience transformed us.” It also touched Mila's brother, Alex Feldman, who co-owns Executive Care along with the couple. He entered the picture on Valentine's Day 2003 to take care of his young nieces while Lenny and Mila cared for their homebound elderly neighbor. After that fateful evening, the three adults collectively felt a strong desire to figure out how to provide the kind of high-quality personal and medical services far too many elderly men and women go without. They started Executive Care one year later as a way to provide a full range of in-home care services to individuals and their families. Executive Care offers services that help families often overwhelmed with the responsibility of providing care to a loved one — all while ensuring the patient remains in the comfort of his or her own home. We are meeting with Mila Feldman and Lenny Verkhoglaz.
