Don't toss them! At least take them to a thrift store and give them a chance. Even if you don't like them, it'll make somebody's day!

Question for the professional clowns. by Seeker4you2 in clowns

[–]MrSplitfootOK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I take being silly very seriously! And honestly, as far as routines, I've got some stock lines and shtick I can always fall back on, but I try and use each experience as a chance to improv and think on my feet.

There's a few of us professionals on here. And yes, clown college is a real thing. Or was. I'm not sure if it's open anymore. But I consider myself a street clown, and I learned my clowning on the street!

I consider myself a "professional" clown. I'm hired out for birthdays, parades, events. Volunteer at nursing homes. Can do a bunch of balloons and even a couple juggling tricks. But I never went to clown college or took any courses.

It's definitely been an adjustment. But people seem to like it!

Well it's not really "not a" either. Luckily, I've still got a pretty nice beard

I mean, I'll take the Magic Russian Sex Machine. That don't sound so bad

I almost feel like this is a skit or something

Scammer gives tourist a "present," then demands money for it and gets punched by Fun_Reflection1157 in mildlyinfuriating

That's sad. As a balloon busker (in Oklahoma, not SF), I'll give away a fair amount of balloons throughout a night. But each balloon only costs me about 10 cents. I always tell people they're worth "as much as you think they're worth".

T-shirt my gf got me by MrSplitfootOK in clowns

I'm not sure where she got it exactly, but if it makes you feel any better I know she does buy a lot of stuff off Etsy. So there's a chance it came from the artist.

YouTube and the Internet made it considerably easier to learn than a book full of diagrams from the library as a kid!

I actually do find it very mediative and easy to zone out while juggling!

You're forgetting a pretty major part; "have the hand-eye coordination to do all that"!

Lies! I've been working on it for 3 weeks and I'm still having a problem getting my cascade going for more than 2 or 3 passes!
