My mom worked in the canteen.
There's always jobs around the circus that aren't performing, and my dad would take tickets at the door and seat people, and they would cook for the tent hands and jobs around the place.
And my sister became a trapeze artist, and I became a clown.
I just found myself watching the clowns.
I didn't even know I was doing that, but that's what I was watching and taking in and watching and taking in.
When it got time to perform, that's what I started doing.
What's your clown's name?
The clown's name is Goldie the Clown, which is a ridiculous name for a clown.
But because my last name is Matthew de Goldie, my mum, I said, I want to be Buttons or Patches or Mr. Stinky Pants.
But she said, but it's worked.
You know, it's a good name for a goldfish.
It's a good name for a golden retriever.
It's a stupid name for a clown.
It's a happy August clown character, the style is called.
And I'm the classic clown.
I haven't pushed away from, which a lot of clowns have been doing in the last 30 years because of the scary clown movies and all that stuff that's happened.
But I've got the hoopy pants, the big shoes, the big red nose, the red wig.
