55+ Silly Clown Jokes To Tell Your Funniest Friends — No Rubber Chicken Required

Are you afraid of clowns? It’s actually a pretty well-known phobia! Still, unless someone has extreme coulrophobia (the name for that particular fear), they likely find clown jokes pretty darn funny. Clown jokes are great to use in general since — love ’em or hate ’em — everyone’s familiar with clowns.

While they were more of a mainstay at birthday parties back in the ’80s and ’90s, these silly characters are still popular for special events. For example, there’s a clown shortage happening in Northern Ireland right now. That, in itself, sounds like the set-up for a clown joke, but it’s real news. These past few years have been hard on all of us, especially the live entertainers of the world. All the more reason to break out the clown humor any chance you get!

The following clown jokes will hopefully remind you that there’s still plenty of joy to be celebrated.
