            3/31 Blythe A Day

A clown is a comic performer who employs slapstick or similar types of physical comedy, often in a mime style. 

The most ancient clowns have been found in the Fifth dynasty of Egypt, around 2400 BC.

Modern clowns are associated with the traditional 'Circus Clown', which developed out of earlier comedic roles in theatre or Varieté shows during the 19th to mid 20th centuries. 

The harlequinade developed in England in the 17th century, inspired by the commedia dell'arte. It was here that Clown came into use as the given name of a stock character. Originally a foil for Harlequin's slyness and adroit nature, Clown was a buffoon or bumpkin fool who resembled less a jester than a comical idiot. He was a lower class character dressed in tattered servants' garb.

The now-classical features of the clown character were developed in the early 1800s by Joseph Grimaldi, who played Clown in Charles Dibdin's 1800 pantomime Peter Wilkins: or Harlequin in the Flying World at Sadler's Wells Theatre, where Grimaldi built the character up into the central figure of the harlequinade.
