Hi gang,
I am developing 6 new shows with a circus/sideshow theme. These shows will be used for family groups and youth camps for the Salvation Army. Six hours of material is a lot of material. Each show is focusing on one main area of circus life: sideshow freaks, wire walkers, lion tamer, clowns/hartford fire, circus family life, etc.

My scripts, routines, music and equipment are coming together pretty well. But as I write the ventriloquist routines I could use some more humor and jokes. Would you be willing to share a few of your favorites. Anything circus or sideshow is fodder for the cannon. I have exhausted my searching on the internet and come up with very little. Remember, these are family shows so they should be in good taste.

Thanks and cheerio,
Kerry

Q: Why did the clown cross the road?
A: To find his rubber chicken.

Why won't cannibals eat clowns? Because they taste funny.

I dated a dwarf girl on the circus.

I was nuts over her.....

Why was Sunshine the clown staring at an orange juice can? Because it said "Concentrate."

Why can't clown noses be 12 inches long? Because then they would be a foot.

Why did Rainbow the clown eat a dollar bill? It was her lunch money.

Why was Sparkle the clown holding a mirror in front of her face with her eyes closed? She wanted to see what she looked like when she was sleeping.

Why did Silly Willy hold his ears when he walked by the hen house? He didn't want to hear the fowl language.
