Hobo clown6/1/2023 ![]() Upon his title being "Hobo Clown", he more than likely sleeps outside under the blackened sky of hell.assuming he even sleeps at all. ![]() Silent and observant until you wind up his key, and right afterwards he returns to his quiet natured self. His voice could surprise some, since he rarely speaks at all, unless when telling a tale, like a music box sort of way. His stories can quickly turn morbid and in every bit of way demonic.for a small price of a penny or two. Upon telling his stories around the carnival, he spins them from Aesop's Fables. He can be very polite and dashing, or he can be stubborn and absolutely hellbent, depending on what mood you catch him in or put him in. Hobo Clown is very cheeky in a sense, with a devilish charm and a wide grin. He's a very melancholy person, not one to say much, but he certianly will listen to anyone talk.unless told what to do. When he's hanging around the others, he normally doesn't speak or react in any such way. No, this demon isn't mute, but simply chooses not to speak unless telling a story or two. Hobo Clown is a quiet being, often seen on the side lines and/or by himself. Hobo Clown wears raggedy clothes, white make up and a red clown nose much like the classic hobo clowns from carnivals, circus, sideshows and vatiété. He likes putting the victims of the carnival in the heart of his "stories" for effect. The Hobo Clown is a performer: a phenomenal and morbid story teller who always gets the crowd of demons excited for a good tale. Come lend an old beggar man your ear, and bleed for a sinner!" In addition, both the red nose and red hair appear in european clowns, although the classic European white face does not use a red nose - they rouge the cheeks, instead."Unofficial custodian within The Devil’s Carnival, but for some extra change, he’ll spin you a story. Getting the make up off a freshly shaved scalp stung like heck.) The one time I went as a hobo, I shaved my head. I've used both silver and orange when appearing as "porkchop". First, clown hair comes in lots of colors. Otherwise, I think that's pretty much right. ![]() ![]() I know a doctor who took one of his suits and, not kidding, shot it up with a shot gun and then ran over it a few times with his car to get the "proper look") But while you're right about tramps and hobos having different personalities they are still considered a single type. (It's pretty easy to build a hobo costume, just go the Good Will store and buy some poor fitting loud clothing. Overall, tramps and hobos are both considered sub-categories of the "character clown" - but they are so common that, yes, they are treated as their own category in Shrine clown competitions. Neither used red hair and Chaplin didn't use a red nose, either. The red nose is not necessarily a big red ball, it might be a small dime sized dot (or a heart, I've seen lots of female clowns use a heart to highlight their nose).įinally, Tramps and Hobos are recent enough as clowns that we know exactly where they came from: Charlie Chaplin and Emmett Kelly. One big reason for using some kind of red nose is that children seem to think it's required, another is that if you've painted your face white (or bubble gum) you need to a different color to make your nose visible again. Third, neither red hair nor a big nose are required for a clown's make up and many clowns don't use either. It seems hard to believe that the US stereotype of the irish as drunken louts would be common in, say, Mexican Clowns This particular claim seems odd to me because the red nose is used by all types of clowns, including clowns in outside the USA. Second, there are tons of myths about clown makeup from what you mention to the idea that blue make up means the clown is gay. Hobos and tramps are related but Hobos are upbeat and brightly dressed, tramps are downtrodden sad sacks. Another user, porkchop_d_clown, might give more details, but hobos, tramps, auguste, white face are considered different kinds of clowns. First, clowns often consider tramp clowns to be a different classification from hobo clowns - seriously, it's a thing.
