Joseph Grimaldi plays Etienne Duclos. Joseph was an English actor, comedian and dancer, who became the most popular English entertainer of the Regency era.

He became so dominant on the London comic stage that the harlequinade role of Clown became known as "Joey", and both the nickname and Grimaldi's whiteface make-up design were, and still are, used by other types of clowns. Grimaldi originated catchphrases such as "Here we are again!", which continue to feature in modern pantomimes. Joseph is very excited to be part of The Amelia Project.
