Michael King said Great book! Valuable information on clowning. Great book! Valuable information on clowning. Only wish it had more clown/physical comedy routines. But that's just me wanting everything in one book.. Ajax said Practical. Eli Simon's work is a practical source of information for people who are interested in finding the clown inside and understanding the essence of clowning. It is an inspirational discussion that outlines methods and exercises one can use to find the clown inside and to develop techniques to express this part of our nature in a constructive and entertaining manner with people of like mind. I have very little training in theater, but I extrapolate that Mr. Simon's book speaks t.
