The Passion of Jesus Christ the clown pt1

A MOUNTAIN IN THE JUDEAN DESERT THOUSANDS OF CLOWNS SURROUND IT.

ONE CLOWN STANDS ON THE MOUNTAIN HONKING HIS NOSE

THE OTHER CLOWNS CLAP THEIR HANDS AWED

THE CLOWN ON THE MOUNTAIN POURS A BUCKET OF PAINT DOWN HIS TROUSERS

THE OTHER CLOWNS APPLAUD WILDLY AND THROW THEMSELVES ONTO THEIR KNEES IN WORSHIP

A SMALL BOY DRESSED AS A CLOWN GOES TO THE MOUNTAIN CLOWN

SMALL BOY CLOWN HAS A TRAY OF 5 CUSTARD PIES

MOUNTAIN CLOWN STARTS PASSING THE CUSTARD PIES AROUND

THEN CHUCKS ONE CUSTARD PIE AT ANOTHER CLOWN

A MASSIVE CUSTARD PIE FIGHT BREAKS OUT

THERE WERE ENOUGH CUSTARD PIES TO GO AROUND

I was looking forward to your clown sketch, but I'm not sure this lives up to the expectations.

it's a good idea, but I think you should keep it as close to the story as possible ie What happened to the 2 fish?

Really nice idea Soot that I can really imagine but it peters out at the end. I agree with Angie re sticking to the original story. You could include them slapping each other around the face with wet fish (comedy staple).

This is not that "clown sketch"

I just figured custard pies were more natural for a clown messiah

I don't think this works on paper, but I can see it working very well if filmed. And I'd prefer the original post if it ever happened.

Yeh it's a visual one, I do prefer the original one.

Maybe with a random fishslap or 2.

Ready for scene 3, the crucifixion.

I think you've made it too confusing by mixing the clown and Jesus stories

I suggest: THE JUDEAN DESERT THOUSANDS OF CLOWNS SURROUND IT.

A SHRIVELLED OLD WOMAN APPROACHES WITH A PLATE WITH 2 FISHES.

MOUNTAIN CLOWN SLAPS HER IN THE FACE WITH THE FISHES.

THE CROWD ROAR.

A LEPER APPRAOCHES WITH 5 CUSTARD PIES.

MOUNTAIN CLOWN THROWS THEM INTO THE CROWD.

MOUNTAIN CLOWN: 'I'll be here until the 3rd day, come and see my 'Ressurection show', next Sunday.

Clowns don't speak!

You really do know a lot about clowns

ps it was a pleasure.

You're welcome mother.

I liked it, gave me a chuckle in the office. Thinking about it, there's quite a lot of scope for comedy in this setting, ie turning water into wine etc?

Speaking of which...

I liked this a lot Sooty, but felt it didnt live up to its potential, I'd like to have seen more being made of the 'miracle' of there being enough custard pies to go round, e.g.

I think its a good idea and it would work well visually. I would have liked an incorporation of other miracles such as a clown with a normal nose and he 'cures' him by giving him a big red nose.

Those are the sequels I may one day write!

Thanks

Or enormous feet and silly hair.
The squirty flower that doesn't squirt until He fixes it.

And so on...
