Rodeo Clown

A rodeo clown is a performer who entertains audiences and ensures safety during rodeo events. They often wear colorful costumes and use humor to engage spectators. More importantly, they assist in protecting rodeo contestants—especially bull riders—by distracting or diverting aggressive bulls when necessary, such as when a rider falls off. They also help clear the arena of the animal after a ride and provide support to the rider. Their role combines entertainment with crucial safety functions, making them an essential part of rodeo events.
