Lambert's Circus Rise From Portal Master to Clown
Edwards county native Lambert begins in August 2014 as a Portal Master, travels across the country, meets Tim Schafer in San Francisco, and impresses Ringling Brothers clowns. He joins the Barnum and Bailey clown alley in mid November and trains in Anaheim with ten contenders before six are chosen to enter the clown ranks. He views clowning as growth, a stepping stone to larger roles, while continuing to develop as a performer with Ringling Brothers Circus.
