Another silly clown character picture from our photo archives to celebrate #InternationalClownWeek
This is Cecil St. Barbara, who I created to host a Shakespeare-themed variety show. He spent the evening sipping "wine" out of a glass skull until he hallucinated faeries, mocking the over-importance of Shakespeare, and generally proving I am a close runner up to Dick Van Dyke for worst Brit-ish accent in a character performance.
I'm grumpy because I missed the first day of posting images for #InternationalClownWeek!
Here's a photo of my clown in a mood, to begin the belated celebration.
The photo I've selected for the final day of #InternationalClownWeek is likely the most difficult one for me to share.
This was taken at a festival, just before the pandemic was declared, and the life we knew was absolutely blown apart.
We shut everything down and hid in our little #clown bunker. Despite this, a couple of years later I caught covid and ended up in the hospital.
That was two years ago today.
I'm still battling #LongCovid.
And I still hope to see those clowns again.

Special thanks to @Tom and @Buttonseed_Nikki for this episode's image.
It's day six of #InternationalClownWeek, and I'm pulling random images from our performing company's archive to share and celebrate.
In the episode of the #2ClownsInACloset #podcast I'm currently editing, I tell a story about working with an incredible juggler called Alan.
Here he is on my left as we do a bit of street performing.
Up early today, and editing a new episode of the #2ClownsInACloset #podcast for you to enjoy!
I hope to have it ready to go before the end of #InternationalClownWeek
