Clowning Around

Clowning Around refers to engaging in playful, humorous behavior often characterized by silliness or physical comedy. It can involve exaggerated gestures, jokes, or playful antics intended to entertain or lighten the mood. While it can be spontaneous or improvised, "clowning around" also denotes a deliberate effort to create amusement, sometimes at one’s own expense or to evoke a sense of fun. The phrase is commonly used to describe lighthearted, non-serious behavior that emphasizes enjoyment and humor over seriousness or formality.
