Why are you a clown?
Do people outside your closest circle really understand what drives you to clowning? "Adventures in Clowning" by Leslie Ann Akin expresses the inexpressible, laughing all the while.
Adventures in Clowning brings stories from clowns around the world, bringing their comic cut-ups to hospitals and birthday parties, street parades and traffic stops. Dozens of clowns share their tales of laughter and tears, triumph and disaster, love and even a little sadness.
For a clown, it’s a reminder of why your work matters. For someone who’s not a clown, it’s a glimpse into a life of laughter and good-will and a ready response to the slander of the scary clown.

Love the name Ron (Smiley). I’m also known by Smiley but Smiley The happy & blessed Clown I love to smile and laugh and bring laughter to the kids with the word of God.
I have been proudly clowning as Smiley the Clown now for 11 years. I’ve loved every minute of it. It warms my heart every time I see a smile on a childs face after I give them a balloon sculpture or they laugh at one of my jokes. As long as My body will let me I will keep entertaining the children.
