    Weren’t they both? And a lot of rural shows as well. Remember going to the Show and seeing them there. I fully agree with @taleya that they haunt nightmares. Apparently one of them was a serious pedo but I can’t remember which. Both drank and you could smell the grog a mile away. The things that parents think kids like is one weird list.

      They were the faces of Moomba until it was discovered one was a convicted pedo.

      I remember seeing them walking around ruffling kids hair and thinking no no no. I did not like them.

        I’ve never really liked clowns. Creepy, even the innocent ones. But Z & Z were more than just creepy. The Commedia dell’Arte has a lot to answer for.
