Does anyone have any tips / ideas how I could get / make a convincing or relatively cheap clown costume?
-
I could just buy / hire something but I'm not sure I want to spend too much money as it will only be used once and for a short time. Any ideas are welcome :)

Answer:
Unfortunately there are people that think that all it takes to be a clown is to slap on some makeup and funny clothes (it's called makeup and motley by the way) and "POOF" instant clown. Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. Your best bet is to hire a real clown. Someone who takes it as a serious art form. That way your chances of scarring some poor young child for life (ever hear of coulrophobia?) with ugly and incorrect makeup and costume will be lessened. If you insist on doing it yourself at least do some research first. I suggest the book "Creative Clowning" By Bruce Fife, Tony Blanco, Steve Kissell, Bruce Johnson, Ralph Dewey, Hal Diamond, Ed Harris, Jack Wiley and Gene Lee. The complete book, along with all illustrations is online @ http://books.google.com/books?id=3ILf8XtMaO4C&dq=creative+clowning&pg=PP1&ots=xcqpyfThrt&sig=oNwx464O4A8C0grcsswrcLvMvZE&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result Once you've read, or at least browsed the book, and decided which type of clown ( there are 3 basic types) you wish to be, hit the thrift store and find clothes that will fit that character. It's getting close to Halloween so you may have better luck now. That's about as cheap as you can do it. One favor I have to ask of you. If you decide to do this yourself, please, please, please be professional about it. There are already enough amateurs out there that give us real clowns, clowns that are truly dedicated to the Art of Clown, a bad name.
