December 10th is Clown
December 10th is Clown Day and has an origin that dates back to the famous Swiss clown Grock, born Charles Adrien Wettach on December 10, 1880. Grock is widely recognized as one of the most influential clowns of the 20th century, known for his unique skills that combined physical comedy and musicality, which helped elevate the art of clowning to a new level. The idea of establishing a day dedicated to the clown arose to celebrate and recognize the importance of this figure in entertainment culture, as well as its ability to promote joy and laughter. The clown, as a character, has a long history, being a central element in circuses, theaters and festivals throughout Europe.
