  1. Barry Lubin must be considered.
    Other than Gunther Gebel "Grandma the Clown" is the only circus personality with audience name recognition,in our lifetime.
    While returning to the train when performing on Ringling,I witnessed a large black family going home after visiting RBBB show at the Gardens.While dicussing the show and who liked what best, one little lad stated that he liked the little circus with "Grandma the Clown" best !
