The tramp is the only
clown type created in the
United States. The Tramp is the
clown who is always down on his luck,
who never has anything going for him, but always retains a glimmer of hope
that his luck will someday change.
Wheeler (left) currently performs
as a tramp, but the most famous examples of this
clown type include
Weary Willie, Otto
Griebling, and Red
"Freddie the
Feeloader"
Skelton.
