I'm currently working with the Legendary Here & Now which is such an honour & a privilege, I have to keep pinchin meself! First gig has just been performed, we are all fully initiated & all gates are open!
Oh yeah! I'm a Clown too!
::::
At the tender age of three years old I loved the Circus, until I had a terrifying experience
with a Clown. With a strong taste of banana sandwiches in my mouth, I remember being
in awe of the Clowns when they first appeared but when they entered the audience it woz a whole
different bowl of fruit! One of them looked straight at me and approached with his manic grin, giant hands
and feet and crazy multicoloured frizzy hair! My reaction woz to scream and hide under my chair.
He then got down on the floor and reached in towards me.... I remember a huge white hand clawing the air
in front of my face and feeling like I would explode from screaming... my memory blurs here -
for sanity preservation perhaps?! The unmasked Clown (unbeknown to me) later approached my father
and told how he woz now retiring from the Circus as this had happened before. He woz tired of
scaring children and being quite traumatized at having done so on numerous occasions!
He then gave my father a packet of crisps to give to me, which woz his original aim as the Clown.
When I had calmed I ate the crisps, I even remember the flavour - Cheese & Onion!
The Clown taught
me how to fear, how to overcome fear and ultimately how to utilize fear. He gave me a passion for
the darker elements of our nature, to look further and deeper than the surface. For these reasons
and many other deep psychological quirks, I thank him.
I also feel sad for this Clown as I aided his demise so I wear my face in his honour....
