"It seems plausible that folly and fools, like religion and magic, meet some deeply rooted needs in human society".

 For this reason, clowning is often considered an important part of training as a physical performance discipline, partly because tricky subject matter can be dealt with, but also because it requires a high level of risk and play in the performer.

The humour in clowning comes from the self deprecating actions of the performer, rather than the audience laughing with the performer as is common with other forms of comedy.

The actual meaning of clown seems like is the person who is giving fun and jokes to people.But do anyone actually understand the tears of a clown?
