I think Mr. Cashins is refering to the jcpenny shirt with the weird vest and the wig oh my god the wig of course if your funny none of this stuff matters but the devil is in the details. a great clown told me always look better then the crowd that comes to see you even if your a tramp.
pleas don't look down on these hard working guys who are probably not getting paid enough.... I have seen worse.On the other side of the coin if they were in my circus they would have to change it. its not the clowns but the people that allow them to dress this way, because they are cheap labor.In show business one has to look good but to be a clown you gotta be funny too. some clowns don't have the knack of looking good I do not but I will never stop trying cause thats my job so I work on being funny ummmmm didn't clown college teach all this ? now its a publicity stunt your right mr. cashins it is sad
There are 2 real gems in the Cole Bros Clown Alley....Perrolito and Kellan (who also takes turns as Wheel of Steel and as the human cannonball in addition to facepainting for comein intermission and blow off) true circus folk who don't get paid enough for what they do!
sorry anonymous no peanut pitch or balloon pitch this year.....get your facts straight..btw...tonight's the last night of 08 for the cole show according to their online calendar...hopefully the jump back to winter quarters in DeLandgoes smoothly!
atleast kelly miller does the pitch anblow off like ringling they sell the lasts years dvds an light swords from overstock pitch and blow off,I also heard that a majority of the vendors are awesome jugglers on the show but sadly they make more vending from what I heard.carson and barnes the clowns have to do it all
Pat, not quite sure how this fits, but in a general sense regarding this topic, I was reminded of a song from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Yeomen Of The Guard", sung by the character, Jack Point, a travelling professional jester who laments in song "Oh! A Private Buffoon Is A Light-hearted Loon" in response to a jailer who wants to be a jester like him. If anyone's interested, the script can be found here: http://www.sullivan-forschung.de/yeomen.htm The song's in Act II; "find" by song title. I can relate to Jack Point sometimes.

Yamma-Yamma T. Klown
Hey, I bet Trick Kelly can make you a wig like that!

so if one is not a ringling overproduced clown does it not make them still a clown???
Apparently a cultural style of makeup and costuming (or even performance) from ones own is considered to be sub par and below standard by some.
Sad.
