GOLD for all clowns out there!!!!

Excellent book on clowning. The author, as well as spending 2 years on the road with the circus, was director of the RBB & B clown school for eight years. Many valuable quotes and lessons on clowning from not just the author but Emmett Kelly, Lou Jacobs and others. I learned a lot not only on clowning but road life with in the circus. Read it in 3 days and it is one I will always keep and reference back too.

best book about clown that I know of, superbe

As one of the young clowns mentioned in this book I was amased to see how well this author wrote with exactness. I wish I could find a copy for myself.
