    Throughout history there have always been people who can make other people laugh. Early clowns often both annoyed and delighted listeners with their comments and songs. They were not the silent performers seen in today’s circus rings. Clowns lost their voices when the big three-ring circuses made it impossible for the audience to hear them.
Circus clowns give performances in various ways. Walk-around clowns use an animal or something, like a huge rubber hammer, as part of their performance. A carpet clown moves around, talking with the audience and performing while the acts change in the rings. Then there are acrobatic clowns, riding clowns, juggling clowns and others.
Everything a clown does looks easy, but it is not. Making people laugh can be hard work. Clowns must be in good physical condition to prevent injuries. Each funny move is carefully timed and well-rehearsed (排练). Most clowns have also been trained as acrobats, jugglers or aerial artists, and many include such skills into their acts.
Generally, there are three types of circus clowns—whiteface, auguste and character. Each has a special makeup and clothes. Each has a typical act as well.
