Charlie Cairoli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charlie Cairoli (February 15, 1910 in Milan - February 17, 1980 in Blackpool) was a famous British clown, impressionist and musician. Born to a travelling circus family of French origin, he began his performing career at the age of seven, and, after visiting the Blackpool Tower Circus in 1939, chose to stay.
He performed at the Blackpool Tower Circus every summer season for thirty-nine years, a world record for the most performances at a single venue.
His son, Charlie Cairoli Junior, is likewise a famous clown.
