1. Barry Lubin Marker
Among modern-day circus clowns, he ranks in the very top echelon. As “Grandma,” an impish, red-attired solo clown, he has bestowed his feel-good merriment on 25 years of Big Apple Circus audiences and elevated physical comedy to a new level. In recognition of his contributions to the circus arts, he was presented with the first Lou Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2002 was inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame.
