I might add that, although I do like tradition in circus, we must allow progress in comedy provided it stay within bounds of public perception or expectation. Old fashioned clowning would not be that funny to todays audiences (I could suggest one or two routines to explain). Yes we have two basic 'clown' personas but there is much room to expand. Clowning is the most inventive areas for originality and good comics.
