Generally, there are three categories of circus clowns-whiteface, august, and character. Each has a specific makeup style and costume. Each has a typical act as well. The neat
whiteface is usually a strict, in-charge character who sets up the punch line for the joke
with a partner. His facial features are neatly detailed in red or black. Circus legend has it
that the august clown got his name from a German nickname for someone who is
clumsy. The august wears light-colored makeup, but white is used around the mouth and
eyes, and there's a big red nose. This clown performs a great deal of slapstick humor.
Character clowns perform as different personalities-cowboys, scarecrows,
grandmothers, or symphony conductors. The most famous character clown, however, is
the tramp. Tramps wear different styles of makeup and costumes that are torn or shabby.
Some tramp clowns are happy-go-lucky. Others are extremely sad. Still others act like
gentlemen who just happen to be out of money.
