For my "favorite clown" entry:
The clown in the book Dunk, by David Lubar. From my reading log:
High school junior Chad lives near the boardwalk on the Jersey shore. He hopes that the hot girl he met last summer will be back again this summer to run one of the games. In the meantime, he wants to become a dunking clown like the new guy who is currently staffing the tank. Actually, there are two men who take turns, but only one is really good at it. Only one is hilarious and clever about making his victims spend dollar after dollar for balls to throw at the target that will dump him into the slimy water.
This book is funny in parts, but it is more a serious book about the power of laughter to heal. I loved reading it a few years ago when a young man recommended it to me.

Clown: Emmett Kelley - saw him as a kid in Sarasota, FL, (former?) winter home of the circus.
