Meaghan Robichaud(they/she) is a fearless performer whose work spans clowning, acting, directing, and writing, but always gravitates back to plunging into the taboo, the wild, and the weird.

Their duo show, created with Matthew Antoci, MEOW! recently had a sold-out run at Loading Dock Theater as a part of the 10th Exponential Festival. The show was featured in the New York Times along with a badass pic of Meaghan’s character Cigarette the Kid.

Their other original work which includes theater, burlesque, and variety shows has appeared on stage at venues like The Brick, CATCH / The Invisible Dog, Brooklyn Art Haus, The Tank, Club Cumming, Purgatory, and The Kraine.

As a director, Meaghan focuses on new comedic work within the art form of Bouffon. She recently made her directing debut with the show The Birth of MonstHER: This Tr*nny Is Going to Destroy the World created and performed by Eva Wolfson. The show, an absurdist queer reimagining of Frankenstein,premiered this past June at Brick Aux.

A skilled improviser, Meaghan enjoys assisting with the development of new work as a performer by jumping into characters and playing around.

As an actor, they’ve performed in a wide range of shows spanning Shakespeare to experimental multidisciplinary shows. Recent acting credits include: GOD MODE created by Matt Romein at The Brick ?! Festival, Babies On the Street by Matthew Antoci and Hillary Gao at The Brick, Midsummer Night’s Dream directed by Kate Mueth at HERE Arts Center, and The Handmaid’s Tale directed by Ann Bogart at Boston Lyric Opera.

Meaghan is also a Bouffon teacher and coach for comedians and performers looking to bring a little more nasty into their work.
