Auguste Clown

An Auguste clown is a comedic character traditionally found in circus performances, characterized by exaggerated features and a playful, silly demeanor. This clown typically wears bright, mismatched clothing, has a painted face with a red nose, and engages in slapstick humor. The Auguste often plays the fool, getting into humorous situations, causing chaos, or interacting with more serious characters, known as "Whiteface" clowns, who represent authority. Their performances rely on physical comedy, improvisation, and visual gags, making them a favorite for entertaining audiences of all ages.
