Mechanical suit like a farmer wear, with big pockets. Oil can hat with flower on 'nozzle'. All sort of funny spanners, breakaway, jump away, multiply, flower spanner, shaving spanner, food spanner, spanner toolbox ! Glasses made of big plastic nuts, . . .

I like the way you think Kallie, with your clown brain. This "spanner all sorts" idea was indeed mentioned between Spanner, Ruffels, Crafty and myself.
I even thought about a song to go with it. The song is not written yet but it is on the tune of "I am Popeye the sailor man...", I am Spanner the mechanic man.... and whatever else to follow that.

[Kallie]

Spanner . . . ? did you read this, and how is it going ?

[Spanner The Clown]

I know a great clown costume maker if you need one, she designed all my costumes

[Colin Underwood]

Hi Spanner
I like the name !!
If you want some extra input into character work check out my lecture notes on my website.
http://www.colinunderwood.com/lecture_notes_7.htm or give me a shout on info@colinunderwood.com 
The main thing is have fun otherwise become a magician! oops I am a magician now does that mean I am not having fun ?? Good luck with your clowning!!

[Bubbels]

Spanner listen to the advice of somebody like Colin. I am a great fan of Colin and not only because he said the very same thing that I did when you asked me what is the MOST important "tool" for a clown, remember I said "CHARACTER". Go right ahead and read what this expert has to say in his lecture notes.
And like Colin said, it's FUN! Thanks Colin.

[Spanner The Clown]

He he

Thanks all

Getting there

slowly but surely 

[Zimbo the Clown]

Spanner, I think that once your character is ready then you need to invite us all over to see your routine (first show), we will give you our input, help you out and judge your show. I can even bring a few kids over cause they are the real judges

[Spanner The Clown]

Mmm

could be a nice idea but why not combine it like an open mic night?

[Zimbo the Clown]

Sounds good to me, we can all perform for eachother
