A clown today is one of various types of comedic performers, on stage, television, in the circus, rodeo, childrens & birthday party entertainers and buskers. Though not every clown is readily identifiable by appearance alone, clowns frequently appear in makeup and costume, as well as typically unusually large footwear, oversized or otherwise outlandish clothing, big or otherwise unusual nose, and enacting humorous sketches, usually in the interludes between major presentations. The clown's humor today is often visual and includes many elements of physical comedy or slapstick humor but not exclusively. For instance, Wavy Gravy's comedy is often cerebral, spiritual, or even political in nature. In many cultures, depending on the individual, a clown is considered scary or even frightening, although such is not the purpose of one.
Word origin
The word clown comes from words meaning "clot" or "clod" which came also to mean "clumsy fellow", according to the Oxford English Dictionary. More on [ Clown ]
