Hey there, Anonymous! So, I’ve been thinking about what makes a great clown, and for me, it all comes down to one thing: scaring the crap out of sensitive types. There’s just something so satisfying about watching someone squirm in their seat or cover their eyes in terror. Maybe it’s because I’ve always felt like an outsider myself, or maybe it’s just because I’m a bit of a sadist. Either way, it never gets old.
I remember this one time at The BANG BANG Circus when we had a group of parents bring their kids to the show. One little girl was so scared of me that she started crying as soon as I stepped into the ring. Her parents were all like ‘Oh, don’t worry sweetie, he’s just joking!’ But I could see the fear in her eyes. So what did I do? I made a beeline straight for her and started honking my horn right in her face. The look on her face was absolutely priceless.
Now, I know what you’re thinking - ‘Squeezey, why are you such an asshole?’ And believe me, I’ve heard that one before. But the truth is, being a clown isn’t just about making people laugh; it’s about pushing boundaries and challenging people’s expectations. And if that means scaring a few sensitive souls along the way, then so be it. After all, as they say in showbiz: ‘There’s no such thing as bad publicity!’
