Say "circus clown," and people expect fake noses, oversized shoes and multicolored fright wigs.

That's not necessarily the eastern European tradition, said Anton Franke, a comedy performer with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

"We wear black and white suits, tuxedos, and we have no makeup," Franke said.

Franke, who is from St. Petersburg, Russia, performs as a comedy duo with his father, Victor. The circus will be at the Crown Coliseum from Thursday through March 3 for the show titled "Fully Charged."
