What makes clowning truly remarkable is its ability to address people’s pain points. Witnessing firsthand how a moment of laughter, often sparked by a clownish question, had the power to brighten someone’s day was a testament to the therapeutic quality of joy. It served as a tiny escape from the challenges of life, a reminder that joy can be found in the most unexpected places.
