Yesterday I discovered that there's a yearly International Clown Summit.

And an annual Clown Cruise, where they take over a cruise ship and tour Scandinavia.

There HAS to be a play, film or maybe even a LARP based on one of these. Oh yes.

See, the sad thing is, when I think clowns, I think Comedia del Arte clowns, where you have all the different archetypes that I read about once and would love to read about again because I've forgotten almost everything. Anyhow, clowns that have a strictly (defined) range of personalities, very few of whom were actually meant to be funny, let alone appealing (shudder) to children.

A convention of people who /did/ that kind of clowning I'd definitely pay to see. Well, I'd pay about a quarter, because that's all I have right now, but it'd be /worth/ a lot more.
