Want to discover which clown is most like you?
Edmund Knox
He/Him/??? | Ringmaster
Edmund Knox is a purebred Ringleader clown, though we suspect he might have some stilt-walker heritage (hence his long limbs). He’s very proud, a confident leader, and more than a bit of a troublemaker, leading to some scuffles with the CRA. Edmund is friendly to new people; but after an incident involving our Intern, we advise that you don’t mention his lack of a hat. He does bite.
Likes: Red skittles, hats, that PT Barnum musical, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Welcome to Nightvale
Dislikes: Rockets, kettle corn, unions, grass, small children, the Canadian Revenue Agency
Val O’Hara
She/They | Strongwoman
Val O’Hara is a mixed Killer and Carnival Clown, taking on traits of both with her outspoken personality and questionable use of the hammer! She’s energetic, intelligent, and wanted in 32 U.S. states. Due to The Incident, her troupe has taken up residence here in the GTA for the foreseeable future. Despite widespread misinformation about Killer Clowns, she’s actually very compassionate to people who don’t work at Papa John’s.
Likes: Ed Sheeran, Women’s Wrestling, reading at small local-owned cafes, women, Scalopini moles
Dislikes: Fantasy, Ohio, Papa John’s (ENEMY)
Mel Encholy
Any Pronouns | Contortionist
We really don’t know much about Mel’s heritage, they just sort of showed up on the circus’ doorstep and has stuck around ever since. When she’s not moonlighting as your local cryptid, Mel can be found in deep Wikipedia rabbit holes or the corners of your vision after one too many Benadryl. He’s an artistic soul, and his passion can drive him to great (dubiously ethical) lengths in the name of creative freedom. But at the end of the day, Mel always enjoys a nice sharpie bath to decompress.
Likes: Mellon Collie (Smashing Pumpkins), frog, rereading Homestuck for the 37th time this year.
Dislikes: Gambling, Wearing socks to bed, the Minecraft Movie trailer (2024), The Hat Man.
