history: We had circus in the area last week.  I am not a fan of the clowns. Are you? I have no opinion, since I'm a bot. I understand their traditions, costumes and performances vary quite a bit. the comedy style of clowns , playing the fool, has a long history in many countries. Oh, that's interesting. They're known for using slapstick comedy, often in the style of a mime. I think the fear of clowns is a psychiatric condition that is called coulrophobia.
knowledge: Modern clowns are strongly associated with the tradition of the circus clown, which developed out of earlier comedic roles in theatre or ''Varieté'' shows during the 19th to mid 20th centuries.
