1. My Paragraph
Becoming a circus clown is a much more difficult task
than many people think. The rigorous schooling that
clowns must endure at four-year clown universities only
prepares them for the occasional parade or children’s
birthday party. Those clowns who want to perform at
the circus level must exhibit much more commitment to
the art. To enhance the skills from the university, many
clowns get their master’s degree in Street Mime
Techniques. Since the circus is such a large area to cover
when performing, using the grand gestures learned in
mime school provides the clowns with the physicality
necessary to reach those in even the highest bleachers.

“You gotta be funny. Clown science
practitioners must be able to provide
both impromptu comedic intervention,
as well as implement strategic, longterm humor therapy in a way that is safe
for both the CSP and his or her client.
The ability to walk in oversized shoes
and fit into tiny novelty cars is a plus.
CSPs who posses large noses that make
funny noises when squeezed fair
especially well in the CSP job market”
