The Circus of Horrors Fires 'Relik the Killer Clown' for Being Too Scary

Doug Child, AKA Relik the Killer Clown has been fired from his job in the infamous Circus of Horrors for being too scary.

He first performed as a killer clown two years ago & was sighted by many people as being the originator of the killer clown craze that was shocking the UK last year.

With Halloween looming & the rise in interest in killer clowns as Stephen King's IT storms the box office, the Circus of Horrors have made the unexpected decision.

Circus of Horrors creator Dr Haze commented, 'Our philosophy has always been that people like to be scared and not be harmed but with last year's killer clown outbreak people began to fear that they would be harmed. ' Stephen King's IT' is a different thing, it is clearly a movie & Pennywise isn't going to jump out of the screen whereas our killer clown could and with another copycat killer clown outbreak expected this Halloween we decided to go down a different route to create a scare that wouldn't put people off coming'.

Doug Child (40) said 'I am devastated, I have work in the FearFestival in Chepstow for Halloween but then that's it, The Circus of Horrors have said if I can come up with an alternative character they will consider it but at the moment I will be heading for the job centre on November 1st'.

The Circus of Horrors which stormed into the finals of Britain's Got Talent continues regardless when its new show VOODOO commences its World tour in the UK in October before touring Ireland, Germany, Poland & Mexico in 2017/18. The show makes a stop at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon on Sun 28 January.
