What makes a good Clown?

[Dr Zoidcrab]

The bare minimum is never removing your clown regalia, even under threat of death. That means no breath mask, no taking off your shoes for a perilous path, and no switching out your uniform for something that isn't the red/blue/formal suit.

If you can't do that, then you're not even a bad clown; you're just not a clown.

I can forgive a clown for losing their mask or suit if their appearance is clown-y enough that it's not jarring.
