The tangled world of clown politics
Elections are underway for a new president for the world's clowns
Elections are underway for a new President for the world's clowns. One of the front runners is a British clown, Andy Davis from Lowestoft. The campaign comes at the end of what has been a turbulent year for the clown community. A new clown horror movie and sightings of so-called killer clowns lurking on streets have only added to a feeling amongst some that the long history of clowning is under threat and they are falling out of fashion.
