Clown Code of
Ethics
|
|
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 him 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 not drink any alcoholic
beverages prior to any clown appearances. I will abstain from drinking alcoholic beverage
while in makeup and costume. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady, neither molesting
nor interfering with other acts, events, spectators, or individuals.
|
|
4.
|
I will remove makeup and
change into street clothes as soon as possible following my appearance, so that I cannot
be associated with any incident, which may be detrimental to the good name of clowning. I
will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady at all times.
|
|
5.
|
While appearing, 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.
