A life clowning around is all about smiles - Marilyn Anderson of Redford is truly in touch with her inner child.
She slips into a goofy costume and applies colorful makeup. She plops on an orange wig and a beanie with a whirling propeller. Now, she's “Wink the Clown,” ready to put smiles on people's faces. Her sidekick is “Silly,” a bird puppet. Irish Theater Magazine - Mesmerising. Enchanting. Magical. Touching. Ingenious. Innovative. Quirky. Endearing. Experimental. Different and highly imaginative. All words that appropriately describe Barabbas’ latest theatrical offering. This time it’s a collaboration with Little John Nee, an inimitable and very Irish troubadour, storyteller, writer, actor and (even if he might baulk at the description) avant-garde clown, in the broadest meaning of our hitherto historically circus-confined red nosed buffoon. Actually, in the case of Little John Nee and this production, Shakespearean Fool and Patrick Kavanagh-esque village idiot aka parochial-meaning-universal poet is a more fitting appellation. Embracing the magic .. or Getting hugs - After 25 years and a cavalcade of trials, "Hugs the Clown" keeps smiling through an economic downturn Clowns Make Pilgrimage in Mexico City - The streets of Mexico City resemble a circus, as hundreds of Mexico's clowns make their annual pilgrimage to church.
Tatiana says she and her fellow clowns pray every year to Mexico's patron saint, the Virgin of Guadalupe. A clown's crusade to end bullying - Few pleasures compare with being able to cancel brunch with your in-laws because you have an appointment with a rodeo clown from Wyoming who is rolling a barrel from the District of Columbia to New Jersey. New York’s Big Apple Circus Raises The Curtain On Mid-East Debut - It’s a case of ‘come one, come all’ to the greatest show this summer, as New York’s critically-acclaimed Big Apple Circus raises the curtain on its Middle East debut tomorrow.
It will run at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre’s (ADNEC) Abu Dhabi Hall until August 3.
The Big Apple Circus gained international notoriety as the opening act on Britney Spears’ phenomenally successful The Circus Starring: Britney Spears world tour. There's a time and place for clowning around - Protecting, championing and exercising the right to free speech is in the life blood of newspapers. So it may seem counter-intuitive for us to take the Christian clown to task for spreading a faith-based message to young children at Waterfront Park on July 4th. But that’s what we have to do in this case. Full circle to Cirque's clowning roots - In Sanskrit, the word "koza" means chest or treasure. One of the underlying ideas in Cirque du Soleil's KOOZA is that of a simple "circus in a box."
Something of a return back to the company's earlier days, this show is far less about multiple acts and myriad mechanical gear, focusing instead on those two classics of circus arts: Acrobatics and clowning.

"The small stuff" The purpose of the Clownville News website is to provide hyperlinks to news articles on clowns and other entertainers. We search the internet looking for News articles. Since we are a 'happy' newspaper, we ignore the stories of people dressing up as a clown and doing bad things. And we ignore stories where someone is called a clown. The web site is updated on at least a weekly basis with the 'new' edition ready every Monday morning. But if there is nothing good to add, there may be no updates for that week. We display hyperlinks to information from clown sites that run an News feed (Using RSS or ATOM). Such as the CRD (ClownResourceDirectory.com) and Clown Events (ClownEvents.com). If you run such a 'feed', send us an email with info on the feed and we will add you to the website.
