How to Entertain Audiences as a Clown

On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus here in Hollywood, Florida and we're going to do, "How To Be A Clown". Okay Mr. Chicken, sometimes we might not do jokes that are funny for everybody. You know, you can't make everybody laugh every time. And there's always someone who might get offensive. For example, when I'm holding you by the neck, people might think that I'm choking you Mr. Chicken. But I'm not really choking you, it's the only place to hold you. So where do you draw the line? What's funny to you might be offensive to somebody else. Well, learn to know your audience. Who is your audience? With small kids, well you could probably say anything because they don't understand what you're talking about. And with adults, at a fancy hotel, it's going to be a different line than at a nightclub or a bar. At a nightclub or a bar you can touch or say anything. At a fancy hotel, you best be on your best behavior. Don't choke the chicken.
