Books by Roly Bain

Designed for the youngest tot to the most elderly "totterer", this book contains tips and ideas for theory and practice, traditions and stunts in every aspect of clowning, from facepaints and feather dusters to water wigs and walks.

Roly Bain is a priest who is a clown. Here, he tells his story and reflects on the long tradition of the holy fool; the biblical concepts of the "foolishness of God"; the relationship between humour and healing; prayer and prayerfulness; and much more.
