Clowning right up your dark alley, you think?
Aspirants wishing to join the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown Alley act have the chance to strut their funny stuff during Friday’s Clown College auditions.
Tryouts take place from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Aug 5, at American Airlines Center.
Applicants should read all about it then register online before hand, then in person bring wicked improv skills, physical and facial — with is kind of physical — exaggerations, comedic timing, and an ability to perform clown-y duties such as juggling, riding a unicycle, teasing a bull — sorry, wrong kind of clown — or squeezing into a teeny car with about 28 other killer clowns.
Applicants should not bring clown makeup, clown clothes, a clown nose, or clown shoes. Just wear regular comfy streets.
