Fuzzle Bumpkins
Hi!!!!!!!! My name is Fuzzle Bumpkins!!! I started clowning doing the "Harvest Carnival" at my church in 2005 & 2006. After that I was hooked so 2007 was the first year I did every Street Fair I could. Late in 2007 I did a birthday party and bombed! That party was the best thing that ever happened to me, because after that I started researching the skits of professional clowns, reading a lot of books, and adapting them to my style. The silliest one I read in a book. The book said use a pool cue and balance three pool balls on the point of it (using a piece of a coat hanger sliding up the center of it. Well I thought it would it would be sillier to use a loaf of fake bread & balance 3 pieces of fake fruit on top of it. After I have them all 'balanced' I ask one child, "Can you do that?" He says, "No." I hold the objects at a relaxed angle, and say, "Oh I think you could." Meanwhile they all yell "Hey you got 'em stuck together!" I stumble to throw them back in my box. I have a few others, and I always learning and adapting.
