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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I will do my very best to maintain the best
clown standards of makeup, costuming, properties, and comedy.
I will appear in as many clown shows as I
possibly can.
