Christ Clown College
St. Petersburg, Florida, USA
Christ Clown College was founded by Dr. Dick Hardel in 1977 in St. Petersburg, Florida. The college is designed to train Christian people in the art and theology of clown ministry.
Christ Clown College, designed after Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, is perhaps, the most formal and longest training available in clown ministry. To receive a diploma, a student must complete 60 hours of class time and over 35 hours of practice and performance time.
Students will study the history of the clown, especially in the American circus, and deepen their faith through the study of the theology of clown ministry. They will develop their own clown character from the inside-out, learn skills in make up, costume design, skit development, staging, props, mime, physical comedy, and more!
