Thanks for that tip Greg. Drew and I are essentially talking about the same thing, but his blog goes into far more detail. For those interested the blog is well worth the visit. I have put a link to it in the video description above.
ahhh I see now! that’s were the comedy and creativity comes in! constantly coming up with ridiculous ways in which it doesn’t work, while acting genuine and clueless! what a fun routine, laughed a lot :)
Thank you soooo much for this video. I am a caricature artist here in Winnipeg , Manitoba Canada. In the summer time I travel with an entertainment caravan of games and rides. Ferris wheel and other rides and so on. I am using costumes (customized) to act a bit of a chararcter too, so this video was a real delight for further growth into my entertainment gig. Thank you and I look forward to watching more! This is genius on your part explaining things, I do really appreciate your efforts here.
Great Idea's. I'm sure I'll include my own version of this in one of Cookie & Freddie's shows soon. I love working with chairs, but it is easy to get tangled up more than intended! I think I will do it with a cream pie, and Cookie will of course offer to help by putting it in my face! Thanks again!
Lmao I'm not sure if I've ever seen a clown before, at least not since I was a kid. I kinda wasn't expecting it to be funny, but I was pleasantly surprised!
Thanks for your feedback. And I was pleasantly surprised recently looking back at some old films of Lucy Ball, who I used to watch as a kid. She is still funny! Worth checking out.
I'm a magician /clown but I tend to go towards the creepy side of clowning, do you have any references I can look at for knife juggling and maybe more dangerous type stunts
Yes, clowning can cover so many different styles. Even some of those early circus clowns could be pretty brutal - in Felini's fantastic film 'I Clowns' there is a great bit where one of the clown's puts an axe into the head of another. I'm sure you can find some other dangerous stunts like this on youtube. Have you thought of trying the bowling ball juggling routine which ends with the juggler throwing one of the balls up and bouncing it on his/her head?
Ok, so the clown sticks with the problem? So say the clown wants a balloon and doesn’t want to lose it, so we as people normally tie it to our finger, but the clown let’s go thinking that it will fall to the ground, it floats away, making another problem of grabbing it, grabs it, then let’s go again. Is that how it works or more sofisticated?
That's a pretty good summary of how it works. If you wanted to stick further with the problem and develop an act further, the challenge would be to discover different ways of grabbing the balloon and different reasons for letting it go. And finally the pay off - how will it end? Will the balloon burst?
Je ne suis pas regarde pour plus, mais ce vidéo est trés bien! J'adore tu en comparison á mon professeur. Tu fais génial vidéos et avoit le bien facile!
I'm staying with a problem all the time I'm not a clown though)) but probably I should?)) thanks for this video, now I understand a power that make everyday things easier)
If you add a bit of incorrect problem solving, frustration, and shock/confusion at outcomes, this goes from funny to hilarious. It should finish with triumphantly sitting down on the cake and realizing you did it. But then celebrating that you figured the chair out even though it cost you the cake, which is now covering your behind.
Yes, I guess so - although I would prefer to call it clowning. Were Chaplin and Buster Keaton mimes or clowns? I think clowning can cover a lot of skills - mime, magic, juggling, slapstick.
(True Opinion) I did several courses of clown and in nearly all, the main objective of the clown is the tragedy. To get take up, until highest in a energy level. And the needs of the clown are basics, (eat, sleep, run, play, teach, cook,...) The clown birth when he cannot do that he want by all that problems. I haven't seem problems and the need clear. I saw someone playing with a chair and with a cake in the hand not with real problems to sit and eat the cake. I wait that my opinion not disturb
Sehr grundlegend und richtig, "bleibe beim Problem". Danke. Dafür war der erste Schritt für das Öffnen des Stuhls dann sogar zu schnell. So schnell erkennt der Clown das nicht. Sorry...
It's very creative. From an artistic point of view I like it very much. Unfortunately I've become too scalded (maybe it's the wrong word?) to find it funny.
Thanks for posting this! I'm just starting out as a clown and this was a wonderful way to show how the clown thinks
So simple and so brilliant. Thank you Mr. Richardson.
The most useful and to-the-point clowning tutorial I've seen on RUclips - thanks a lot, sir. XXXXXXX
Glad you liked it and thanks for the positive feedback
If I went with this performance, I probably would have sneezed at the end and accidentally drop the cake. Lol

I was chuckling to myself from the start, but when you lay on the chair and started swimming i laughed very hard. Great job!
ahhh I see now! that’s were the comedy and creativity comes in! constantly coming up with ridiculous ways in which it doesn’t work, while acting genuine and clueless! what a fun routine, laughed a lot :)
Glad you laughed! Good luck with your clowning.
I liked the act even better with the monologue voiced over. "My leg again? ...But the cakes still good, eh?"
Nice video, I'm just getting into clowning as I want to use it to compliment my stand up and this video has given me some food for thought. Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed it and I learned a lot. Best regards, from the bottom of the heart of my little clown.
I'm so glad that it was helpful. Happy fooling and good luck with your clowning.

Thanks for your kind comments and I'm so happy that you found it useful. Good luck with your touring this summer.
Feels like that episode of king of the hill where bobby keeps laughing at the number three and having to explain his jokes lol.

Thank you so much Mr for sharing your beautiful training. It will help me a lot in my clown moving body with a chair.
❤❤❤Love your routine 😅is so sweet and the suspense is awesome!!!
Thanks for the kind feedback.
beautiful work
Thank you

It's a great video for someone learning about clown, wonderful job+
Well, thank you for your kind comment.
Wonderfull work. Congratulations.

The 11th Doctor Who summed up in one video.
Now you make me curious to watch the 11th Doctor Who!
How the time machine coming along?
This reminds me of Puddles pushing his chair from one end of the stage to the other with all his might for like 5 minutes xD
Lmao I'm not sure if I've ever seen a clown before, at least not since I was a kid. I kinda wasn't expecting it to be funny, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Love the Schubert

Where has this vid gone 😔
The video is still there! Maybe a problem with youtube blocking it in some countries due to music content.
thanks a lot for this vid! I absolved my first clowncourse after I saw this ;o)
+Pascal Schuler Congratulations and good luck with the clowning!

Thanks! Very helpful.
Superb!
Thank you!
1:26 noooo donde te sentaste!!
beautiful!
that was a really funny clown!
Thanks!

Nice suggestion! When I do the routine in a show I don't sit on it, but I do land up standing on it!
In order to not see the obvious you have to see what is not obvious
Chris for president!
Isn't this technically just miming though?
Yes, I guess so - although I would prefer to call it clowning. Were Chaplin and Buster Keaton mimes or clowns? I think clowning can cover a lot of skills - mime, magic, juggling, slapstick.
I don't think mimes have props
Beware of definitions . It is theatre , one uses skills to do the show.
5:37 nooooo donde te sentaste !!!!!
Wish I knew this meant - I've figured out its to do with sitting on (or maybe not on) a cake! So, probably relevant. Thanks for the feedback!
(True Opinion) I did several courses of clown and in nearly all, the main objective of the clown is the tragedy. To get take up, until highest in a energy level.

Nice...to. Seek.
He needs to sit down and eat
I see the problem very clearly. He wants to sit on his chair and enjoy his cake. He can't do that. And that's a problem.
Sehr grundlegend und richtig, "bleibe beim Problem". Danke. Dafür war der erste Schritt für das Öffnen des Stuhls dann sogar zu schnell. So schnell erkennt der Clown das nicht. Sorry...
It's very creative. From an artistic point of view I like it very much. Unfortunately I've become too scalded (maybe it's the wrong word?) to find it funny.
Clown çalışması icin iyi bir örnek oldu.

Drunk again, David?
Instead of a chair, one could use a Tiger.
Absolutely - do send me a link to your video when you do the tiger act!
I Wanna Practice be a "Ronald McDonald!"
