"Le Clown Gordoon" is a New American Circus-styleclown character created and portrayed by Jeff Gordon. He has performed most notably with the Big Apple Circus but has also appeared with Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, and several other circuses as well as at the Walt Disney World Resorts in Orlando, FL.

Out of makeup, Jeff Gordon also appeared alongside fellow Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College graduate Bill Irwin in the Broadway production of Largely New York.

A talented "Producing Clown", Gordoon is the creator of the "Toilet Paper Gag" (wherein the clown blows billowing rolls of toilet paper high up into the air with the use of a powerful leafblower) that has since been appropiated by legions of clowns all over the world.
