Don't Forget To Renew Your COAI Membership Today! Page 2 The New Calliope
The Amazing Clown Adventure COAI members, included among the fans of the popular CBS reality show The Amazing Race, were delighted when Dave and Cherie Gregg were selected as cast members. Now that their involvement with the race has ended, the Greggs are home and have returned to their jobs with the Greatest Show on Earth. The Greggs graciously accepted my request for an interview for The New Calliope. First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to speak with us today. Do you have a clown name or do you go by Dave and Cherie when you are in makeup? Dave: We go by Dave and Cherie. Cherie: We go by Cherie and Dave. You currently list your address as New Port Richey, Florida. Where did you grow up? We grew up in Massachusetts, Dave in Newton and Cherie in Brockton. Before we joined Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, we lived in Foxboro (Massachusetts) for seven years. We switched our address to New Port Richey, Florida, because, when the circus has time off, it’s usually in the winter. Now we think of the United States as our hometown. Would you please share how you became interested in clowning and what training you received (i.e. Clown College, etc.)? Dave: I originally wanted to be an aerospace engineer but my dad said, “For the safety of the flying public, why don’t you check out Clown College?” This was not unusual, as my dad was a clown. I like entertaining. At the age of four, I was hospitalized with meningitis and my grandfather gave me a magic coin slider, which I performed for every nurse and doctor who came by my room. I auditioned for Ringling Bros. Clown College in 1989 and 1990. continued on page 5 May/June <strong>2012</strong> Page 3
