Well clown don’t talk but that doesn’t mean they are “silent” more specifically the point of their jokes are “silence” Clowns have different styles of jokes. There’s poor clown, the dumb clown, the bossy clown (found in clown groups ) angry clowns. So on and so forth. Now I don’t mean to talk down on mimes, not at all, they are fun too but their jokes are all about them being silent and you figuring out what’s going on. Trapped in a box, too windy, climbing a rope. They arent falling down stairs or getting into fights with other clowns. Mines are silent, that’s their bit. Clowns are silent but they have their own personalities. If you watch “welcome to derry” that last episode has a good example of a kind of clown act. He’s pulling flowers but a gopher keeps taking them, then you find out the flowers are for the grave of his wife and the gopher gives him a flower. There a storyline to the jokes. Btw pennywise the clown has great makeup. I know people see it as creepy but it does what it’s supposed to do. Highlights his smile his cheexk movements his forehead movements. That’s what the makeup is for. So the audience 50 feet away can see clearly when you’re smiling or frowning or crying. That’s the point of clown makeup. I’ve always wanted to be a clown instead I’m just a retail district managers who’s fantastic at his job… I should’ve been a clown lol
