Tip hat Red Nose Times?

I've seen several references to "The Red Nose Times" on the Forum. I assume this is some kind of clown paper ("All the News that Fits in a Little Car"?) Can somebody give me more information?

This hasn't been active as far as I know since late 2006 or very early 2007. I asked a similar about 6 months ago.

Are there any other clown-related publications that are active? Anyone... Anyone... Bueller... Bueller?

Well, Clowns of America has one, as does the World Clown Association. Subscriptions come with a membership in those cases.

Also there's the Funny Paper (go to SPS magic) That one is the heir apparent to Laugh Makers and is aimed at kid entertainers in general...lots of stuff from magicians, jugglers and vents as well as clowns. Great magazine. (if you can just pick one, go with this one)

There's an email clown newsletter that comes out sporadically, and there's the Circus Magic e-newsletter too. neither of them go terribly in depth about anything, but there's fodder for thought in each issue. I don't have the addy for the clown news...but I think Toby Kid puts it out. (Next time I get one I'll post it.) Circus Magic you can google.

OK...going to bed now.

Hop, I'm glad you mentioned the Funny Paper. I just received my first issue in something like 8 or 10 months. Have you been receiving yours regularly? If so I need to PM you and see which ones never arrived. I tried talking to Sammy's people one time but that didn't amount to much at all.

There is the Hospital Clown Newletter, www.hospitalclown.com It runs $20 or $25 dollars a year but the good news is that much of the first 6 years are archieved online for you to read here: http://www.hospitalclown.com/Past%20Issues/Vol%201-6FinalNew.htm
The Clown Newsletter (Formerly Soda Pop's Newletter) can be found at www.tobykid.com with the archieves located at http://www.tobykid.com/newsletterarchive/
Alan Clay has an entertainer's newletter based in Australia. Try www.alanclay.com and/or http://www.artmedia.com.au

If just reading the archieves doesn't keep you busy enough for a week or two there is more...

Almost forgot the Red Nose Response people, they also have a monthly e-zine as well as a forum here: http://www.rednoseresponse.org/press.asp

There is also quite a bit of reading at www.webclowns.com It has been awhile since I have spent any time there but I remember pages of info. Also, I have spent time reading the archieves of a few of the yahoo groups for clowns.
