In my opinion, being a "professional" clown is similar to anything else that is "professional". I am a dental hygienist by trade, and consider myself a professional, meaning I conduct myself in a "professional" manner. I have met people working in the dental field that I wouldn't consider "professional" because of their lack of knowledge in dealing with people and a lack of ability to conduct themselves in a business-like and appropriate manner.
A professional clown also needs to be able to conduct themselves appropriately, in many and different situations. they also need to be knowledgable about their art.
Professionalism is about conduct!
I hope I wasn't rambling too much!
