Introduction

Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare yourselves for a week of eerie laughter and uncanny joy. From the 1st to the 7th of August, 2024, we celebrate International Clown Week. The clowns are out every day, but this week, “everybody” has the excuse.

A Week of Unsettling Laughter

International Clown Week is a time when we honour those red-nosed, oversized-shoe-wearing jesters who dedicate their lives to bringing smiles to our faces. But remember, behind every painted face lies a mystery, a story untold.

The Dark Art of Clowning

Clowning is not just about funny costumes and makeup. It’s an art form that requires timing, humour, and the ability to laugh at oneself. But beneath the laughter and the gags, there’s a sinister side that sends shivers down our spines.

Celebrating Clown Week

How can you celebrate Clown Week? Why not visit a local circus, watch a clown performance, or even try some clowning yourself? Remember, the goal is to spread joy and laughter… and a little bit of fear.

Get ya clown kit out!

As we wrap up this week of hilarity and horror, let’s take a moment to appreciate the clowns in our lives. They remind us that no matter how tough life gets, there’s always room for a good laugh… and a good scare. So here’s to the clowns, the jesters, the comedians - thank you for reminding us to always find the humour in life, even if it’s a bit sinister.
