The Dangerous Job of Clowning

Dealing with a room full of wise cracking children might be dangerous for some clowns, while sleeping in the proximity of Lions and Tigers and Elephants might provoke fear in other clowns. The Clowns with the most dangerous job in entertainment have to be the Rodeo Clowns. These brave souls put on a brightly colored Clown Face and put themselves between an enraged bull and the rider who is is scampering to get out of the Rodeo Ring. As the Cowboys and Cowgirls are high tailing it away from the bull, the Rodeo Clown is drawing the bull's attention towards themselves with their brightly colored clown makeup and over sized hats giving the rider the extra time they need to get out of the way of the charging bull.

Although it seems improbable to most of us, these Rodeo Clowns have chosen their profession. They purposely became a colorful target for ranging bulls. Putting on Clown Makeup is a call to duty for all Clowns, but to Rodeo Clowns putting on Clown Makeup means another few hours of entertaining the crowds while performing a dangerous task. The Clowns of the Rodeo suffer injury and risk themselves every time they perform and the vibrant colors of their Clown makeup are essential in helping to protect the other Rodeo performers. Besides the antics of the Rodeo Clown the brightness and coloration of the Clown Makeup draws the attention of the Bull away from his original target, the rider, and straight towards the brightly colored clown.

Rodeo Clowns are clowns that work in teams, protecting each other while allowing the rider to exit the ring unharmed. Durable Clown Makeup is essential in this kind of clowning. The Clown Makeup used by Rodeo Clowns must be able to withstand heat, dust, and sweat for hours without a reapplication.
