EXCLUSIVE: National clown shortage may be approaching, trade organizations fear
I think there's been a miscount. The clowns are out there, they've just quit using the makeup.
As the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus returns to Brooklyn Thursday, membership at the country's largest clown organizations has plunged over the past decade amid declining interest, old age and higher standards for the jokesters.
It's the high standards, I think. If they lowered their standards, fewer Clown College rejects would run for elected office.
