Northern Ireland Clown Shortage and NPR Reporting
A "clown shortage" has been reported in Northern Ireland as circus performers have moved to other EU nations that reopened earlier. Duffy's Circus has opened online auditions for new clowns, emphasizing that the role requires a high level of rapport and audience interaction. The story's coverage on NPR is mocked for its "happy music" and perceived lack of journalistic seriousness.
