Our show, Dr Clown Gets The Fever, was all about us clowns catching Saturday Night Fever, so there was a lot of dancing to all our favourite hits from the 70s. We began by making dramatic entrances to this hit from the movie Grease.

Babydoll turns barber!
Before the Red Nose Ceremony began, Babydoll, thoughtful as always, took the opportunity to give a free shave to a few lucky members of the audience, using her whipped cream and a plastic fork!

Boing, Fae and The Clown with No Name
They've got their noses. They've got their certificates. Now they're just sitting back and letting it all sink in. (Also they're waiting for cake).

Getting used to new noses!
It's not as easy as it looks! Here's Boing, wondering if it's going to stay on, and Bobette, making sure it does!
Next, Bobette watches, impressed, as Fae discovers she can giggle with her nose on. But the Clown with No Name isn't taking any chances:
Boing takes a breather, Bobette discovers the old hand-on-nose-keeps-it-on trick, and Fae applauds enthusiastically! (Either that, or she's saying 'namaste' to someone off camera).
