The success of clown comedy is dependent on the comic or comics who
take center stage. These comics are usually identified with a
specific comedic shtick, physical or visual humor, and their
underdog status. This study by film scholar Wes Gehring presents a
brief, historical overview of major figures in the genre, including
W. C. Fields, Charlie Chaplin, Bob Hope, and Woody Allen. The
comedians discussed are drawn from four genre periods: the silent
era, the depression era, the post-World War II period, and the
modern era.
