Bring in the clowns

Went out with a friend to the circus which was in town... wanted to ask if i could take some photos of their clown for a competition that was coming up with my camera club... Bippo the clown was very co operative and we took some great shots of him... He has been a clown since he was 3 years old... his parents used to be in the circus as well but they have retired now.
Bippo does all his own make up - i was really impressed.
He was such a lovely character - really friendly and fun........
