Catch Buffo The World’s Strongest clown in his show several times each day at the Buffo state or riding around the fairgrounds.
Buffo’s patriotic show is a salute to veterans and the USA. He walks a tightrope, juggles standing on a big ball, chops a cement block in half and balances a large flag and flag pole on his chin.
How does he know he’s the world’s strongest clown? He won a contest. Events included “who could juggle the heaviest objects, who could unicycle with the most weight on their back,” Buffo said.
“Well, let me put it this way, most clowns are sissies,” according to Buffo.
Buffo says he also excells in “strength of stupidity,” proven by some of the feats he’s attempted in the past, such as lying on a bed of nails with cement blocks on his chest.
Does his strength impress the clown women?
“They go, ‘Buffo, you are … stupid,” Buffo said.
