SARAWAK will be hosting one of the most fun-filled conventions on the planet, when the World Clown Association Convention comes to Kuching in March 2013.
The annual event provides an educational platform for amateur and professional clowns to share their expertise and promote the art of clowning. Previously hosted in Canada and the US, this will be the first time it will be held in Asia.
The six-day meeting will attract about 200 professional clowns from around the world, and is expected to bring in tourism revenue of over 500,000 ringgit (US$166,000). The winning bid was clinched through a team presentation by local host, Sam Tee of Uncle Button Clown Supplies (Kuala Lumpur), the Malaysian Convention and Exhibition Bureau and the Sarawak Convention Bureau.
I wonder how the clowns will be able to keep their face paint from running in this tropical climate. And not to mention the most important issue of all – will anyone be able to take the keynote speakers seriously?
