hello has anyone here ever had custard/ cream pie in their face, is it fun and a good thing to use in a performance? does it damage the make up? also is there any clowns here from england? i have only just started learning about clowning and what kind of clown to be. i would also love be properly face painted as a clown and was wandering if there are places to go that can make my make up more better. thanks.

The book "Strutter's Guide to Clown Makeup" would be a good place to begin. I've never had a pie in the face but I would think that it would mess up your face and costume. Good luck!

hi im also new to it and live in england ther are lots of face painting classes i would love to hear from you and chat at how you are getting on yours piccalily

hello where in england are you from. i am from nottingham. i am 25 years old. thus far i have only practise putting clown make up on and am learning a performance. what is your story into how your became a clown? i'd love to talk to you about it. can talk here or my email is ijesson@yahoo.com. thanx

Hi An old clown Here, in England as well,

Do not use face paint if you are going to take a pie it will just wash it off, you need to be using a proper theatrical makeup that is fixed in place and even then it will need repairing after.
I have taken hundreds of pies and the one bit of advise I would give is close your eyes and dont breeth in as it hits
custard pie in the eyes,throut or lungs is horrible, your eyes sting, nose runs and you cant breath, you just look a right mess
Have loads of fun practicing
Love

hello, sorry i actually made a mistake with my email:) its ijesson@yahoo.co.uk i would love to hear from you. sorry about the error and that your email didn't get through. thats so wierd that your from nottingham. i'm from there. i will email you rather than talking on here. thanks, all the best.

hi, thanks for your advice. it is very helpful. you kind of make getting custard pie in the face very scary, am not sure it would be good to be throwing pies in a performance if it is really horrible for the person getting hit by them. i think placing a cream pie in the face sounds better from what you say than throwing. i am so busy with work have not had time for clowning, but am keen to assess whether this is a good thing to use in a performance. maybe it might be best to practice. any other advice and suggestions from anyone is welcome. thanks:)

hello piccallily
your email got thru fine. i sent one back. hope it gets to u, thanks:)
