2 ½” x 3 ½” (64 x 89 mm)


Growing up with a mother who was a performer, it's no surprise that Julia Bothun developed a passion for the circus. However, it was her love for clowning that truly set her on the path to becoming a professional performer. Her clown character name is Wanda fool the clown.

With a childhood steeped in circus lore, Julia worked hard to discover her own voice and character. She developed a love for playing music and singing, as well as clowning. After high school, Julia embarked on a journey with Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus, touring for three years.

During her time with the circus, Julia honed her skills and became an accomplished clown, entertaining audiences across the country. But she didn't stop there. After leaving the circus, Julia continued to pursue her passion for clowning and now assists her mother, Tricia Manuel, with curriculum planning, gag writing, clown conventions, and working with the local clown club.

Julia's journey from circus child to professional clown is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft. Her love for clowning and performing continues to inspire others, and we can't wait to see what she accomplishes next. See her at https://www.instagram.com/wandafooltheclown/
