Grant
O'Connell

Grant O'Connell is a Los Angeles-based performer, director, and clown. His work lives at the intersection of physical comedy, absurdist storytelling, and genuine emotional honesty – often at the same time.

He is the creator and sole performer of Good Knight, a one-person clown show developed at Hollywood Fringe Festival in June 2026 and later performed at Philadelphia Fringe. The show received 13 certified audience reviews at its Hollywood debut, drawing consistent praise for its physical commitment, audience interaction, and rare ability to be simultaneously hilarious and moving.

As a filmmaker, Grant has written, directed, and performed across short films and animated projects. His short film Le Regard won at both Indie Short Fest and the Austin Short Film Festival and screened at festivals internationally. His animated series Bush Guy ran for 19 episodes on YouTube.
