I've always wanted to be an (0) ENTERTAINER (ENTERTAIN) but never did anything about it until I lost my job last year. After a 1CONVERSE with a friend about the 2BORE of office life, I decided not to look for another job in management, but to earn my living from giving 3PERFORM at events like kids' parties. So I became a clown! I'm 4CURRENT doing four or five parties a week and I love it! I love seeing the 5EXCITE on the kids' faces when I walk in the room. I try to have a lot of 6VARY in my act, so I tell jokes - most of which the kids find 7AMUSE - and bend balloons into funny animals, do impersonations of 8FAME people and generally keep the kids actively involved for an hour or two. It's the perfect job for me!
