Rocco Meo

A jittery flesh-covered comedian, writer, and performance artist based in Chicago who creates absurd, surreal, and empathetic works exploring the tension between reality and fantasy. His pieces challenge fitting in, connection, embarrassment, and the blurred line between performance and sincerity, using gross body humor, vaudevillian physicality, and anxious personas to humanize absurdity, confronting audiences with discomfort and kindness.
