The Eight
Clown Commandments
1.) I will keep my acts,
performance and behavior in good taste while I am in costume and
makeup. I will remember at all times that I have been accepted as a
member of the clown club only to provide others, principally children,
with clean clown comedy entertainment. I will remember that a good
clown entertains others by making fun of himself or herself and not at
the expense or embarrassment of others.
2.) I will learn to apply my makeup in a professional manner. I will
provide my own costume. I will carry out my appearance and assignment
for the entertainment of others and not for personal gain or personal
publicity when performing for either the International club or alley
events. I will always try to remain anonymous while in makeup and
costume as a clown, though there may be circumstances when it is not
reasonably possible to do so.
3.) I will neither drink alcoholic beverages nor smoke while in makeup
or clown costume. Also, I will not drink alcoholic beverages prior to
any clown appearances. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady,
never interfering with other acts, events, spectators, or individuals.
I will not become involved in or tolerate sexual harassment or
discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, age, disability or any protected status.
4.) I will remove my makeup and change into my street clothes as soon
as possible following my appearance, so that I cannot be associated
with any incident that may be detrimental to the good name of
clowning. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady at all times.
5.) While on appearance in makeup and costume, I will carry out the
directives of the producer or his designated deputies. I will abide by
all performance rules without complaint in public.
6.) I will do my very best to maintain the best clown standards of
makeup, costuming, properties, and comedy.
7.) I will appear in as many clown shows as I possibly can.
8.) I will be committed to providing an atmosphere free of
discrimination and harassment for clowns of all ages to share ideas
and learn about the art of clowning.
