Clown Skits for Everyone: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Performing Clown

Summary: An excellent resource for clown skits for 1 & 2 clowns
Review: Clown Skits for Everyone, by Happy Jack Feder, is an excellent resource. It contains a (very) short introduction on make-up & clown character, & then launches into the meat of the book - a collection of skits suitable for one and/or two clowns. Some skits are 'classics', while others are variations. All are funny and quite 'do-able' even for beginning clowns. The book is interspersed with nuggets about character, character development, entertaining, working with other clowns, audience control, etc. Frankly, as a professional clown, I don't know *where* the negative reviewer is coming from.

Summary: A Degrading look at Clowns
Review: I cannot tell you how horrifying it was for me to read this awful book about clown skits. Feder obviously has no comprehension at all of the world of the clown. Mr. Feder, my father was a clown. I know what it's like to be a clown. Believe me, it's not all fun and games as your book would suggest. I hope no one who reads the book will buy into its misinterpretations and stereotypes that you portray. I'm sorry for every true clown you have offended.
