Clown prinny Kids T-Shirt

The most ancient clowns have been found in the Fifth dynasty of Egypt, around 2400 BC. Unlike court jesters,clowns have traditionally served a socio-religious and psychological role, and traditionally the roles of priest and clown have been held by the same persons.Peter Berger writes, "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.
