I enjoyed watching this. A used to perform as a clown many years ago ,although the clown spirit never leaves you ( not that I want it to) the one thing that I would say, which the vid did touch on, was the connection to the 'inner child' , the clown , at least my clown, was very child like , a mixture of innocence, wonder, play and mischief . It's not a coincidence that many of the great clowns find a strong connection with children , either as an audience or the case of Charlie Chaplin in 'the Kidd'. Sometimes ( if not all the time ) simple truths are reached upon through the eyes of a child .

An Auguste clown is a type of circus clown that is often clumsy or unlucky, and is known for their slapstick humor and colorful costumes an example would be Lou Jacobs The famous Clown from Ringling Bros. Circus (My instructor the last year he taught at Ringling Bros Clown College in 87) or Bozo the Clown A whiteface clown is a theatrical clown who covers their face and neck with white makeup, known as "clown white", and paints on features in red or black. They are often dressed in bright, oversized clothing and shoes, and may wear a ruffled collar and pointed hat. Whiteface clowns are known for their exaggerated performances, and are often the leader of a group when performing with other clowns. Whiteface clowns are the oldest of the clown archetypes, and can be traced back to the Pierrot character. They are often seen as more intelligent and sophisticated than other types of clowns, such as the Auguste, who are often portrayed as rude or grotesque. Whiteface clowns often set up comic skits, perform tricks or stunts. Ronald McDonald is an example of a White Faced Clown The Tramp Clown has more human features usually facial hair like Otto Griebling or Charle Chaplin. I am a a retired American Character Clown. Your channel really resonates with me. Yuri Belov formerly of The Moscow State Circus who introduced me to clowning at a summer clown workshop at North Carolina School of the Arts.

I'm looking to turn clowning into a hobby, as it seems very fun! (and also because, though Clowns don't need to be in heavy makeup, or scary, I do like the look, and am always wanting to dress up in it) I definitely agree that Clowns represent our inner stupidity, absurdity and ridiculousness. I mean just look at the meme of someone dressing in clown makeup with captions underlining their idiocy. For Example: You lost your phone You can't find it anywhere in the room You decide to look under the bed You turn on your phone's flashlight to see-

I think Sacha Cohen and Eric Andre are the best modern day clowns. One of them is even classically trained

I think it's high time Mr. Barnaby that we connected for an interview to give your subscribers perchance a greater depth to your discussion. I applaud your efforts sir. As a student of Avner, Ronlin, Bill Irwin, Dell Arte, Marceau, Mezzone Clementi, Montanaro SF Mime Troupe before I went to Ringling Bros. Clown College I was ridiculed outright for being a mime wanting to be a Ringling Clown when I joined in 96. I spent 12 years perfecting my craft every night, adjusting, creating in front of thousands of people seated in the arena. . . . . . . and I've yet to hear you mention anyone from The Greatest Show On Earth in your feed thus far. I never juggled, did trick table magic, never spoke, nor had I any traditional circus skills in my act at Ringling other than mime and slapstick. I doubt you'll answer me nor look at my legacy at Ringling, let alone try to find Grampa. All the best., Alan Ware

Thank you for doing this video. You explained things that I didn't know existed such as the North American Natives having their own clown formats. Quite interesting video!
