Clown shortage: Appeal for new recruits in Northern Ireland
"There's a lot more to being a clown than just putting on a big red nose and a big baggy pair of pants."
We have to determine how much money will be spent in playing xo wallet
That's according to David Duffy, co-owner of Duffy's Circus, who is appealing for people from Northern Ireland to become clowns.
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a shortage of the performers, as many returned to their home countries when the first lockdown came into force in early 2020, according to Mr Duffy.
But what makes a good clown?
"Someone who's willing to make themselves vulnerable," says Noeleen Fries Neumann, known professionally as Silly Tilly.
"Not everybody likes to be laughed at but for someone who is a clown, your worst nightmare would be to not be laughed at," Mrs Fries Neumann told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"You have to be able to poke fun at yourself, it's not about poking fun at other people."
During lockdown, Mrs Fries Neumann and her husband Henrik, who is also a clown known as Jarl, set up a big top circus tent in their garden, allowing them to continue to rehearse and perform.
The couple first met at an international clown festival, before having a clown themed wedding in 2017.
But lockdown was hard for Mr Duffy and his circus has been closed for more than 500 days.
It will soon be able to tour in Northern Ireland again, following changes Covid-19 restrictions.
But performers have been able to get work in other countries that have opened up more quickly. -
