ABOUT

The New York Times said "West is tireless... and manages to always be in the moment, reacting to whatever everybody around him is doing without coming across as obnoxious." 

(From his performance in ONEOFUS' production of "Dick Rivington & The Cat.")


Tyler is originally from Tucson, Arizona where his inspiration to become a professional clown happened when he saw a Cirque Du Soleil show in 7th grade. After he would research clowns on Youtube and practice by making funny faces at himself in the mirror. Later he graduated from The University of Arizona with a B.F.A. in Acting.

In 2019 West moved to New York City and got his start working in burlesque and variety shows. Over the years his career has grown to travel the world and dazzling audiences alike. He's had the pleasure being directed by Jessica Stone, Cal McCrystal, Julie Atlas Muz & Mat Fraser. And chances to study with clown mentors like Philippe Gaulier, Aitor Basauri, David Shiner, Stefan Haves, Julia Proctor, Eric Davis & Sophie Amieva.

Tyler's solo show titled "THE WAIT" has toured the world at various fringe festivals & won several awards like; "Best Story Telling" (London Fringe) & "Staff Pick Award" (Minnesota Fringe).
