clowning

I wasn’t a class clown, because I was like, “This is going to get me in trouble.”

My mom was obsessed with clowns and decorated our apartment full of them when I was growing up.

The clown had been silent for years, Benson swears, but when Christopher arrived in June, the clown perked up and found its wheezy laugh again.

Between all the clowning, the show cycled through dozens and dozens of singers.

He told Mohammed that he was just there clowning and that Mo had a real shot and could have his spot.

The crowded theatre was wholly relieved, itself again, in a succeeding passage of trivial clowning.

The bears themselves perform their parts most decorously, without any horseplay or clowning.

This was a bit of his clowning humor, a purely manufactured and as it were mechanical joke or ebullience of soul.

The tall, peaked hat was a great aid to the clown in my early days of clowning.

To be a successful clown you had also to be a good pantomimist, because all clowning is really based on the pantomime.
