Clown Shoes Banned For Being Safety Hazards
Safety is no laughing matter, say circus bosses as they ban … clown shoes:
A clown has been told he cannot wear his giant comedy shoes during his act because they breach health and safety rules.
Valerik Kashkin broke a toe after falling from a high-wire and has been told his size 18s were to blame.
His bosses have now banned the clown – whose routine also includes playing a drum kit, trumpet and double bass at the same time – from using the outsize footwear and ordered him to perform barefoot, instead.
