Walk around ideas

[Scruffy]

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can post walk around ideas. So... I guess I'll go first!

The morning paper....

Requirements, a small suitcase, (An old fashioned roller skate case works great)
A roll of TP
a Tp wall mount holder

Paint the words the morning roll on the lid of the case. mount the dispenser and paper inside on the bottom so when you open the lid, you see the paper.
Go up to someone and ask them of they have seen the morning paper yet? then show it to them and walk away to the next person.

Nice, Scruffy - but should it read "Morning Paper" instead
of "Morning Roll?"

Shave the Whales -- build a big huge disposable razor from
swimming noodles or other crafts material. Wear a sign that
says "Shave The Whales"


Shoe Shine -- I carry an old doctor's bag with a sign on the
side that says "Shoe Shine" or "Free Shoe Shine"
Ask a spectator if they'd like a shoe shine -- reach into the bag
and pull out a flashlight and "shine" it on their shoes.

I use the shoe shine line, gets good laughs, if you've got an older person have them shine the light on you and say "You Light Up My Life"

I saw this some where, a suit case with GrandMa's Bloomers painted on the outside, and inside have floweres in plastic pots mounted inside and ask some one if they've seen grandma's bloomers.....

I keep a small mirrow in my pocket

"Oh I just made a new friend, the nices person you'd ever want ta meet, can I show you Her/him?" then I have them look in the mirror.

Make a "Ring" large enough to go over your head. I used a large foam florists wreath ring, And added a styrofoam Ball to represent a jewel. Paint the ring gold, and paint the jewel whatever color you like, (I used pearl).

Wear it around you neck as a ring around your collar!

Or, walk up to a participant, Usually an older kid who isn't afraid of you, put the ring around there neck and say" Say! I could help but notice you might have a laundry problem. I see you have ring around the collar." Then produce a whisk broom from your pocket. "Have you tried whisk?"
remove the ring and keep walking. 8)

Needed: One toilet seat. A case large enough to carry it in, or a large burlap type sack.

Put seat in bag or case.

Walk u to someone standing at a parade, or if you in a circus, find someone with a really lousy view. "Pssst, hey buddy, I couldn't help but notice you look pretty uncomfortable, And can't see very well".Note, if they are standing say something to the effect of "You look tired, would you like to sit down?" etc. "Tell ya what I'ma goin' ta do... I'm going to offer to you at no small expense; the best seat in the house. Sound interested?" Here you go! Then,show them the toilet seat.

Here's on I use during parades...


Needed: A small throw rug attached to a piece of rope. A small broom.

Gag: Drag the rug (using the rope) behind you. Every so often stop and sweep some debris under it. Walk on down the road and repeat.

Get it, SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG.

Hey Scruff;

Good Idea having this as a catagory (If I have it right). I really dig seeing these great walk- around ideas. I am still self concious in my clowning (I'm always afraid someone will tell me "you suck" as a clown) so I find that walk-arounds (and giving out safety pops) safer -at least for now and I like doing it.
More,More-I'm still not satisfied.

One gag I used during a Parade was to hold a balloon in my hand by what appeared to the the string. Actually, I am hanging onto the Balloon and I have an extra piece of string hanging on it to LOOK like it is all attached.
Then when I hand the balloon to someone, they grab the string and I walk away with the Balloon. All they get is the string. I was pretty worried that people would be offended, but EVERYONE got the joke right away. After all, they ARE dealing with a clown.
