Thanks for posting this! I'm just starting out as a clown and this was a wonderful way to show how the clown thinks
So simple and so brilliant. Thank you Mr. Richardson.
The most useful and to-the-point clowning tutorial I've seen on KZread - thanks a lot, sir. XXXXXXX
ahhh I see now! that’s were the comedy and creativity comes in! constantly coming up with ridiculous ways in which it doesn’t work, while acting genuine and clueless! what a fun routine, laughed a lot :)

Glad you laughed! Good luck with your clowning.
Glad you liked it and thanks for the positive feedback
If I went with this performance, I probably would have sneezed at the end and accidentally drop the cake. Lol
Thanks for that tip Greg. Drew and I are essentially talking about the same thing, but his blog goes into far more detail. For those interested the blog is well worth the visit. I have put a link to it in the video description above.
I liked the act even better with the monologue voiced over. "My leg again? ...But the cakes still good, eh?"
Thank you soooo much for this video. I am a caricature artist here in Winnipeg , Manitoba Canada. In the summer time I travel with an entertainment caravan of games and rides. Ferris wheel and other rides and so on. I am using costumes (customized) to act a bit of a chararcter too, so this video was a real delight for further growth into my entertainment gig. Thank you and I look forward to watching more! This is genius on your part explaining things, I do really appreciate your efforts here.

Thanks for your kind comments and I'm so happy that you found it useful. Good luck with your touring this summer.
Great Idea's. I'm sure I'll include my own version of this in one of Cookie & Freddie's shows soon. I love working with chairs, but it is easy to get tangled up more than intended! I think I will do it with a cream pie, and Cookie will of course offer to help by putting it in my face! Thanks again!
Thank you so much Mr for sharing your beautiful training. It will help me a lot in my clown moving body with a chair.
I was chuckling to myself from the start, but when you lay on the chair and started swimming i laughed very hard. Great job!
Nice video, I'm just getting into clowning as I want to use it to compliment my stand up and this video has given me some food for thought. Thanks!!
Thanks for outlining the fundamental things to know as a clown
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed it and I learned a lot. Best regards, from the bottom of the heart of my little clown.

The video is still there! Maybe a problem with youtube blocking it in some countries due to music content.
I'm a magician /clown but I tend to go towards the creepy side of clowning, do you have any references I can look at for knife juggling and maybe more dangerous type stunts
@MrDramaWorkshops

Yes, clowning can cover so many different styles. Even some of those early circus clowns could be pretty brutal - in Felini's fantastic film 'I Clowns' there is a great bit where one of the clown's puts an axe into the head of another. I'm sure you can find some other dangerous stunts like this on youtube. Have you thought of trying the bowling ball juggling routine which ends with the juggler throwing one of the balls up and bouncing it on his/her head?
that was a really funny clown!

Ok, so the clown sticks with the problem? So say the clown wants a balloon and doesn’t want to lose it, so we as people normally tie it to our finger, but the clown let’s go thinking that it will fall to the ground, it floats away, making another problem of grabbing it, grabs it, then let’s go again. Is that how it works or more sofisticated?

That's a pretty good summary of how it works. If you wanted to stick further with the problem and develop an act further, the challenge would be to discover different ways of grabbing the balloon and different reasons for letting it go. And finally the pay off - how will it end? Will the balloon burst?

(True Opinion) I did several courses of clown and in nearly all, the main objective of the clown is the tragedy. To get take up, until highest in a energy level. And the needs of the clown are basics, (eat, sleep, run, play, teach, cook,...) The clown birth when he cannot do that he want by all that problems. I haven't seem problems and the need clear. I saw someone playing with a chair and with a cake in the hand not with real problems to sit and eat the cake. I wait that my opinion not disturb

I see the problem very clearly. He wants to sit on his chair and enjoy his cake. He can't do that. And that's a problem.
In order to not see the obvious you have to see what is not obvious

It's very creative. From an artistic point of view I like it very much. Unfortunately I've become too scalded (maybe it's the wrong word?) to find it funny.

Isn't this technically just miming though?

Yes, I guess so - although I would prefer to call it clowning. Were Chaplin and Buster Keaton mimes or clowns? I think clowning can cover a lot of skills - mime, magic, juggling, slapstick.
