Christian Clown Training #1

This video, "Christian Clown Training #1," advises Christian clowns just starting out to begin by performing in nursing homes.


"There are a few common sense rules that every clown ought to be aware of before coming into a nursing home." The first is to call and ask for permission to come! Otherwise, you will SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF SOME OLD PEOPLE.

More advice:

"If it's your first time, plan on about a half-hour visit. During that one half-hour visit of non-speaking clowning, you will discover a lot of energy has been expended."

Also:

"Be sure to choose a partner. Two clowns together are really great." However, three or four clowns can be intimidating, apparently.

The last part of the video advises clowns to NEVER fulfill requests such as lifting a person, taking them outdoors, or "handing them something."

Because it would be SO AWESOME to be an old person in a nursing home who can't get out of bed, wants to go outside, and really needs a glass of water to be "entertained" by a pair of INCREDIBLY UNHELPFUL amateur Christian clowns.
