This is now a lengthy argument with the circus side of show-business perpetrated by the newer thinkers and art people. How long is a piece of string!
I would like to think that the original 'clown' was the white face whereas the knock-a-bout
stooge or slapstick maker would be the 'auguste' but these are old terms. I like to think that circus has the two kinds of 'clown' but others will now argue many more!
The clown or slapstick fall-a-bout guy must work exceptionally hard - be a good acrobat and all-round circus artiste. Let us appreciate the good one more.
I might add that, although I do like tradition in circus, we must allow progress in comedy provided it stay within bounds of public perception or expectation. Old fashioned clowning would not be that funny to todays audiences (I could suggest one or two routines to explain). Yes we have two basic 'clown' personas but there is much room to expand. Clowning is the most inventive areas for originality and good comics.
