Editing Clown (section)

=== Gags, bits and business ===
* '''Business''' – the individual motions the clown uses, often used to express the clown's character.
* '''Gag''' – very short piece of clown comedy that, when repeated within a ''bit'' or ''routine'', may become a ''[[running gag]]''. Gags are, loosely, the jokes clowns play on each other. A gag may have a beginning, a middle, and an end – or may not. Gags can also refer to the prop stunts/tricks or the stunts that clowns use, such as a squirting flower.
* '''Bit''' – the clown's sketch or routine, made up of one or more gags either worked out and timed before going on stage, or impromptu bits composed of familiar improvisational material
