A feather duster can be worked into almost anything involving a lady clown or a tramp or hobo clown.

It could even be worked into a bow and arrow gag. The duster has the straight part (the part that has the tip) and the part with the feathers (the shaft with the feathers that help the arrow to fly straight).

Ok, so it's dumb, I just spent 5 days at the circus and I'm running on fumes, so my ideas have been way out there since Saturday night.

Once while greeting people before a fashion, I "dusted the particpants so we "would have a clean show"....

Nuring homes it's a good way to "dust your troubles away"

I have a magic wand that turns into a feather duster. I use it to clean my assistant's (birthday child) hands befrore he starts putting cake ingrediants into dove pan. He then waves magic wand everyone says the magic words (happy birthday) and a foam cake is produced.

A feather duster stikes me as one of those props like a rubber chicken or a squeaky ball where the question is not "What can I do with this?" but "What CAN'T I do with this?"

Juggling and balancing come immediately to mind. Dusting things of cousres espescially things that shouldn't be dusted. Play darts. get a head band and you can make a hat. You can use it to imitate numeorus birds. Make it a microphone, a flower (full of dust to you cough and snezze every time you "smell' it, a boat paddle, a sword, a tickle "torture" device, a conductor baton, guitar or uke, a drum stick, badmitton birdie and on and on and on. Get two, and you can do a vegas fan dance. All the othe ideas are good to!

Don't limit yourself when thinking of ideas. Clowns are not limited by reality or sensibilty or logic. Let your impluses and imagination run wild. Then try things out and see what the reaction is. Then narrow down.

in my country there is playing game called "statues".

Briefly, this means that children are dancing until I blow horn, and then they have to pretend that they are statues and they can't move.

my task is to make them move..
so one of my props is feather duster and I brush them on face and hair so they always move and laugh. you can use it with the lines such as: uuuu what a dirty dusty statues I have to clean them all.. kids just love it..

you can use also a toilet brush (clean of course)
and brush them gently on hair with lines such as: ooou what a beautiful stinky haircut..

and so on

I hope this is helpful.

Get some foam X's (or you could cut them out of paper). Hold one in your hand as you dust it with your duster and say "you look look like you need a kleenex (clean X).

I do not have a good skit for feather dusters but I do have a very good poem. It is another one of Jack Warners "Funny Occupations". I have been using these for years. They are, despite how they sound, quite easy to do. People love them.


A FUMPER AND FLATTENER OF FEVVERS

Now a man I know a very funny kind of job enjoys
It's really making shuttlecocks and other feathered toys
His job's to bend the feathers so they stick a certain way
And this is what he told me when I saw him yesterday.

He's a fumper and a flattener of fevvers
He's a fevver fumper that's the job 'e's at,
'Cos when a fevver furls up and when a fevver curls up
The fevver fumper fumps the fevver flat.

Now the fevver fumper feeds the fevver fixer
And the fixer fixes fevvers that 'e's dumped
But the curled ones he refuses, so the fevvers that 'e uses
Are the fevvers that the fevver fumper's fumped.
