Circus Memories- Pammy RBBBC 2001

This is Christy McDonald (Pammy's clown College roommate) and Pammy at Winter Quarters. Christy came in to lend a hand a hand with costumes for the clowns. Among her many talents she's a top notch seamstress and costume designer. We hadn't seem in her in a long time and it was good to hang out when she wasn't super busy,which in Winter Quarters, wasn't often.


That's Pammy presenting the ol' bed of nails "walkaround" where she lies down on the bed and then drinks some water that squirts out from her torso.


During Winter Quarters there was a lot of material that was tried then cut from the show. Sometimes we had to present other people's ideas and when they were weak it was always good news when they were nixed. This one bit had Pammy dressed in a tiger outfit and playing golf. I know. Pammy wasn't looking forward to wearing that costume seven to eight times a week. Thankfully it was cut the same day it was rehearsed.



This was a gag that did make it into the show but was one that we never liked. It was a parody of the reality show "Survivor" and at least half the Alley was in it.. The show's director came up with the idea and he really wanted it included. That's show biz. That's Pammy slapping away in the spotlight with gusto.
