Toto Photos

One of my favorite Ringling clowns of the 80s was Ron "Toto" Johnson, a wonderful clown and a really great guy. Toto is still very active in clowning, does Ringling advance work and acts as "guest clown" on several shows as they pass through his part of Iowa.

Here are a few photos from his 22 years in the world of circus clowning.

Actually I call him Ron - but only when he's out of make-up.
But I'm a Brit - so what do I know?!
