- I will keep my acts, performance and behavior in good taste while I am in costume and
makeup. I will remember at all times that I have been accepted as a member of the
clown club only to provide others, principally children, with clean clown comedy
entertainment. I will remember that a good clown entertains others by making fun of
himself or herself and not at the expense or embarrassment of others.
- I will learn to apply my makeup in a professional manner. I will provide my own
costume. I will carry out my appearance and assignment for the entertainment of
others and not for personal gain or personal publicity when performing for either the
International club or alley events. I will always try to remain anonymous while in
makeup and costume as a clown, though there may be circumstances when it is not
reasonably possible to do so.
- I will neither drink alcoholic beverages nor smoke while in makeup or clown costume.
Also, I will not drink alcoholic beverages prior to any clown appearances. I will conduct
myself as a gentleman/lady, never interfering with other acts, events, spectators, or
individuals. I will not become involved in or tolerate harassment or discrimination on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or any protected
status.
- I will remove my makeup and change into my street clothes as soon as possible
following my appearance, so that I cannot be associated with any incident that may be
detrimental to the good name of clowning. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady at
all times.
- While on appearance in makeup and costume, I will carry out the directives of the
producer or his designated deputies. I will abide by all performance rules without
complaint in public.
- I will do my very best to maintain the best clown standards of makeup, costuming,
properties, and comedy.
- I will appear in as many clown shows as I possibly can.
- I will be committed to providing an atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment
for clowns of all ages to share ideas and learn about the art of clowning.
