Is the wig of a quality that can be cut? If it is a cheap halloween wig you need to just get a good one. Every wig should be cut to accomadate the wearer.
And as others have mentioned...grease paint!!!
Since you are just starting out I wonder why you choose a tramp or hobo style clown? A lot of people start out with this and get frustrated. I believe that is the HARDEST type of clown to portray sucsesfully. I like to see people learn all of the clown types but I think it would be easier to grow with you studies if you try one of the other styles first.
If you have a tremendous love for just this type of clown that is fine, just understand you are giving yourself a big challange. If it because you think it will be cheaper or easier to do then I think you are barking up the wrong tree. There are inexpensive options for costuming auguste and white face clowns also. And the clowns who can interact with kids and families as a tramp or hobo (two different things by the way) are indeed very talented people.
I'll climb down off my soap box now.
