I'm going to be attending a grand opening of a new hospital and would like to ask if anyone has any ideas for roving clowning along the lines of a medical theme.

What props would you take?

What lines would you use?

Thank you so much guys!

Visit www.caringclowns.org and look under topics: Props and Gags and Routines for lots of ideas. There are too many for me to re-post here.

There are endless ideas if using a partner.

One can be the patient, the other the doctor/nurse and totally and clumsily make the patient worse.

Spill water, break more bones. Some plaster of paris could com in handy here.

One prop that I think would be cool would be to find and old fashioned metal bed pan and attach a scarf or a stocking cap too it. (anyone who remembers them also remembers that they were beastly cold).
take it into a patients room and say something like " Hey, do you know what freezer they keep these things in?, or which way the the ice chest?". Or you might say the nurse said you needed one of these. Or you might try getting some PVC pipe (Like a 2" size) and paint it to look like a giant thermometer and a piece of thin plywood as a tongue depressor. A plunger cup on the end of a real stethoscope is a great way to get a few laughs

a candy themometer and a jar of vasoline [tease them about being flush and then it's amazing how much better they feel when they see the themometer.

Of course every loves hospital food and could alway use a good brown-E
If you need healthy food there's always green Ps
any small magic that you can carry in pockets are good.

Ahhhhahahahahaha! Brilliant!
:lol:

Thanks guys! You're all wonderful!

Keep'em coming!

I bought a plunger today and will be on the lookout for a stuffed cat. But until then...

I got a rubber mouse from a pet shop. Maybe that can be used for the cat scan joke. "Look who I found running away from a CAT scan!"

I won't have a partner so I'll have to stick to solo acts.
