"Clowntrodden: Birthday Bozos party for a living, but
it's not all fun and games" is a very interesting story about the pitfalls of being a
children’s entertainer. It appeared in the Boston Daily Globe on Dec. 26 and centers
mostly on clowns and interviews them about some of their offbeat and memorable
experiences. Also in the article is lots of good advise like Spunky the clown’s tip,
"The real trick to being a party clown is to keep the show rolling, to move faster
than the kids." Or, the author’s insight, "As any clown will tell you, the
job is largely a matter of crowd control." To read the story by Nathan Cobb click: HERE.(12/29)
