For The Love of Laughter

By Jackie Combden

THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL "HOW TO BE A CLOWN BOOK". IT IS MORE LIKE A "WHY DID I BECOME A CLOWN AT AGE 32 AND WHY AM I STILL CLOWNING AT AGE 59?" BOOK. The how-to part is fairly straight-forward, but the why aspect is elusive and inexplicable. For The Love of Laughter is a compilation of my own hands-on experiences as a clown over a 27 year period. I just wanted to set down my memories before they faded. Trained as a nurse in both the Emergency department and Intensive Care Unit, my career path was laid out for me by the time I was 24 years old. However, becoming a professional clown was beyond anything even my creative brain could imagine.I hope my stories might inspire and touch anyone who has ever wondered what life looks like from this side of the makeup.
