Tears of a Clown

Create a story around a comedic character whose life offstage is filled with personal struggles.

Behind a funny facade, what untold dramas could be taking place? A character who makes others laugh for a living can have a highly dramatic personal life, providing rich material for your story. Explore how they use humor as armor and how their onstage persona contrasts with their offstage reality. What would happen if their personal life were to spill onto their professional life? This narrative could tackle themes of identity, inner struggles, and coping mechanisms.
