Are you going to the Clownvergence?
Next week is Clownvergence 2026 April 9-12, an annual online summit for clowns of all modalities to get together, share tips, tricks, secrets, and best practices. I feature it on my blog clownlink.com, along with a schedule, and a link to the registration There's a sliding scale to attend, so nobody should feel excluded. There are over 30 panels, workshops, provocations and events over a 4 day period. I present the whole schedule On Sunday there will be a panel about the legacy and future of the Dell'Arte school (one of the schools that I graduated from that features Cleo DeOrio, Julie Douglas, Noah Bremer, Artemis Pebdani, Joe Dieffenbacher, and myself Hope to see you online next week at the conference and the panel! If you come or are coming drop me a dm and say hi!

Welcome new members!
So glad you made it to our little corner of Skool. Hoping that you will enjoy yourself here and have a great time connecting with other comedians, clowns, funny makers, and those that just want to know more about how the comedy is made. Feel free to take a look around, start a topic, respond to a topic, or in all other ways make yourself at home! I haven’t been as great a welcoming committee as I could be, but want to welcome some new members to the community! @Erol Chandler @Teddy Bess @Stewart Quinn @Reese Lanay @Rich Potter All of you have joined in the last 3 weeks or so. Thanks for joining! I am a little slow to start some conversations, so thanks for bearing with me. (I am also traveling/touring over the next 2 weeks, so bear with that as well!) Feel free to start a topic, ask questions, or go through some of the old content and see if anything grabs you. Also, if there’s something specific that you are looking for in terms of guidance, ask a question, and I will answer it if I can! Best! Adam

It went well, although it was very sparsely attended. I once asked a friend how his show went, and he said “Great. I showed up. The audience showed up. I did my show, and then I drove her home.” It was a last minute thing, and there will be more. Is there a better time for you guys? If you could choose a time to have it when would it be?

@Andrew Cory I hope i gave you good clown advice in your dreams!
Some things are just funny, especially real life.
I just found out that the city of Nottingham was originally known as Snotingham after a real Anglican tribe called the Snots.

That reminds me of an old sideshow joke. The blockhead is the guy who pounds nails into his nose using a hammer. He does so, and then pulls the nail out, and does a double take. “I thought it was blood on the nail, “ he explains, “But it’s not.”
START HERE: Introduce yourself to the community!
This community is here to discuss the nuts and bolts of clowning and comedy and help each other be funnier! Welcome to the party! Please introduce yourself in this post , and include your name, location, and a little bit about where you are performing and where you are in your comedy journey. (And don’t worry, if you are not a performer, or a complete newbie. We are here to help!) After you introduce yourself, go to the Classroom and do the easy peasy START HERE Classroom link (early users, it might not be there yet!)

Welcome Zane! Glad you are here! I just looked up the AC Joint as I too had never heard of it. I don't know if it's funny by itself, but I definitely think there's some material there that you could make funny by placing it in context. It's not quite well known enough to just comment on it. (Like for example, you could make a joke about the humerus bone, but for some people it's been removed, some kind of evolution thing, they are evolving without the humerus bone. Who is evolving without it? The Germans! The thing is, everyone has heard of the humerus bone, so people have a context for it. I think if you build the AC joint context, you might have something there. Hopefully more people than shoulder reconstructionists will find it 😄 . BTW, here's elder comedian Andy Huggins talking about breaking his humerus bone. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DUEwHSYlKN-/
