How to Be a Caring Clown for Hospitals

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus here in Hollywood, Florida and we're going to do, how to be a clown! One of the more honorable clowning professions is caring clowns. People who work in the hospitals or the nursing homes. Believe me, the people who live in nursing homes and people who are stuck in hospitals need some comic relief. And those jobs can be done for pay or for free. But there are a lot rules you have to know and remember. When you are in the hospital, you have to wash your hands all the time. Wash your props, keep clean. But it's great! It's almost all one on one, someone sick lying in bed and you could do a silly trick like my hat rising. And the kid screams out you?re just lifting it with your fingers, but look, there's nothing in my hat, and now I am going to make a rabbit. Poof! Look at that rabbit! Abracadabra! Poof! The rabbit is gone! One more time! Abracadabra! Poof! A rabbit! A rabbit! Yeah, it doesn't take much to make someone in the hospital laugh. Even silly things. You should give it a try."
