ME!
HI!, My name is Bob but for clowning purposes i am the mexican Bob. ive been working as a clown for a little over 10 years now. I started in what (id always assumed) is the traditional manner by doing kids parties. As the years went by and as my act became more and more popular i found myself doing more and more parties until it got to the point where the fun had jsut gone out of it (for me i mean my shows were still hugely popular) so about 4 years ago i took my clowning in a new direction i took it to the streets. I now make a great living as a street clown i am hired by local councils to provide entertainment for visitors to their town centres i am currently working for cheshire county council (uk) providing entertainment in a numeber of area
and me im happier than i have ever been and actually feel my work in once again a worthwhile enterprise rather than just a job :D

How true!
What I used to do, alongside my partner Wobbles, was drop a big heavy cake onto a pedestrian from a balcony, then when s/he looked up to see who dropped it, we'd just start laughing and setting off bottle rockets!
You should try it!

Aye Curamba!,,,,,~un Payaso
Howdy Mexi Bob,
Southwest Sam here from southern,,,,Ummm,,,,,Indiana (Well, I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and this is where I stayed). Welcome to the Forum. You and I are in the same boat somewhat. Back in '98, I got into the Politics of a certain Magic Organization and had a fallin' out with a person I considered a friend and with performance burnout, I walked away too. I returned about 2 years ago only this time as a singin' Cowboy, Hollywood B-Western, Roy Rogers style.

Gradually, I found myself performing more and more for younger audiences and decided to add this Comical Cowboy Character you see here today. Best move I ever made, 'cause I'm having a ball with it.

Welcome Bob!
Wow, We've had several new members join today. I leave for a few hours to go shopping for some different props and this place starts jumpin'. Maybe I should take that as a hint.
Anyway. We look forward to hearing your two pesos worth on clowning.
Welcome aboard.
