My Life As A Clown

He has been in the ring for over 50 years and is the star of the Great Russian State Circus: the living legend Oleg Popov is the most famous clown ever!
Never before has a book been published about his life, but now he tells his story together with his good friend and journalist Melle van der Velde, his press officer for five years.
In this book, Oleg Popov speaks candidly and with excitement and humour about the key moments in his life: his youth in communist Russia, his debut as a clown, the death of his first wife, his tours around the world, his adventures in Cuba, his encounters with the great and the good, and his happy marriage to his second wife Gabi.
A unique document about a great circus artist, circus life and life behind the scenes. Richly illustrated with dozens of previously unpublished photos.
