This community is here to discuss the nuts and bolts of clowning and comedy and help each other be funnier! Welcome to the party! Please introduce yourself in this post , and include your name, location, and a little bit about where you are performing and where you are in your comedy journey. (And don’t worry, if you are not a performer, or a complete newbie. We are here to help!) After you introduce yourself, go to the Classroom and do the easy peasy START HERE Classroom link (early users, it might not be there yet!)

So glad you made it to our little corner of Skool. Hoping that you will enjoy yourself here and have a great time connecting with other comedians, clowns, funny makers, and those that just want to know more about how the comedy is made. Feel free to take a look around, start a topic, respond to a topic, or in all other ways make yourself at home! I haven’t been as great a welcoming committee as I could be, but want to welcome some new members to the community! @Erol Chandler @Teddy Bess @Stewart Quinn @Reese Lanay @Rich Potter All of you have joined in the last 3 weeks or so. Thanks for joining! I am a little slow to start some conversations, so thanks for bearing with me. (I am also traveling/touring over the next 2 weeks, so bear with that as well!) Feel free to start a topic, ask questions, or go through some of the old content and see if anything grabs you. Also, if there’s something specific that you are looking for in terms of guidance, ask a question, and I will answer it if I can! Best! Adam

Next week is Clownvergence 2026 April 9-12, an annual online summit for clowns of all modalities to get together, share tips, tricks, secrets, and best practices. I feature it on my blog clownlink.com, along with a schedule, and a link to the registration There's a sliding scale to attend, so nobody should feel excluded. There are over 30 panels, workshops, provocations and events over a 4 day period. I present the whole schedule On Sunday there will be a panel about the legacy and future of the Dell'Arte school (one of the schools that I graduated from that features Cleo DeOrio, Julie Douglas, Noah Bremer, Artemis Pebdani, Joe Dieffenbacher, and myself Hope to see you online next week at the conference and the panel! If you come or are coming drop me a dm and say hi!

We are going to have our first clown/comedy hangout tomorrow. Check the calendar tab for the time. At the appropriate moment, click the call/video button. It works a lot like zoom, but it's run by Skool. Show up, say hello, bring comedy questions! Let's meet and greet, sip and swig, and chat chat chat! Look forward to meeting you guys tomorrow!

I just found out that the city of Nottingham was originally known as Snotingham after a real Anglican tribe called the Snots.
