There is one reward for a real Harlequin - laughter! Joking, having fun, seeing the audience smiles in response - this is the real vocation of a clown, regardless of his age and “work experience” on stage. Surprisingly, but oldest clown - Floyd Crickmore (stage name - Creeky) - already 95, and he does not stop delighting the audience with his performances in the Shrine circus! In February of this year, the merits of the actor (as the oldest clown in the world) hit the Guinness Book of Records!
Floyd Crickmore's program is not as diverse today as it used to be. After a stroke that the clown suffered several years ago, he was forced to stop juggling and performing tricks on a homemade bicycle. Despite this, the audience is enthusiastic about the appearance of Creeky in the circus arena.
Floyd Crickmore's passion for the circus began in the 1930s, when he was ready to do any rough work, just to get money for a ticket to the circus. The guy was fond of clowning, the whole district knew about his clownish talent. Despite the fact that due to the difficult financial situation of the family from the age of 15 he was forced to work in one of the farms in Montana, Floyd did not lose hope of realizing his talent. His appearance at one of the local parades in a dress made of old clothes and with a face painted with lipstick caused a real sensation, because the guy looked really funny.
However, Floyd Crickmore managed to become a member of the circus troupe only in 1981, by that time he had already managed to rebuild his own house and start a family. Since then, awards began to appear on the walls of his house, which the audience's favorite Creeky received in the most prestigious clown contests in the country!
Undoubtedly, the ability to bring joy to the people around you is a real calling! Where there are clowns, there are always smiles and sincere laughter! That is why the holiday of clowns in Milan can rightfully be considered one of the most famous, vibrant and colorful festivals, where no one will be bored for sure!
