@DangerGarrett

Thanks for watching!  Gatherings is my attempt to solve the "loneliness epidemic" that I keep hearing about. The answer might be putting on the red nose and piling into a very small car with all your boys. Thanks again to all the clowns that invited us in!  Please check out the first episode of the series if you liked this one. 

Please let me know what other communities and events you think I should check out, I am all ears and hope we can shoot some places suggested by the Vice community.

@DarkZeroHero

Clown cult? Isn't that just a circus?

In all seriousness, if they're not hurting anyone and enjoy the company of each other, why not.

@Wholenewcris

I dated a girl who after we broke up randomly became a clown techno dj LMAO

@caldog619

I would date a clown

But I wouldn't Marionette

@MrBraddles3128

I don't think they're sexy OR scary. They're just clowns.

@bapo224

I need me some of that clussy

@Covermy6

@kerrytolley8532

Amazing journalism Jackson! Just wish you would had documented how everybody all fit into one Uber for this party!

@blueoak5262

Nah, not turned on by the clown stuff. 

But to each their own as long as everyone safe and whatnot.

@BonShula

This is what this company was started for. This is the old Vice 🤓

@shrekiiminaj4761

chuckie is such a queen i love her n this community

@KatieSanderford

i go to the clown cult gatherings and they're so fun! such a varying crowd of people with zero fear of being too weird or not weird enough. would highly recommend to anybody with an open mind and a silly heart 💗

@hannahkroyer1

This is something I’m really interested in.  I’m huge into regional burning man events because of the freedom of self expression. Also, the feeling of being able to play again. Who said we have to stop playing around as soon as we become adults? It’s such a shame that it’s not more default. 

BRB, I’m about to go buy some face paint and a red nose

@kantomike6158

I bet they all secretly listened to Insane Clown Posse as teens 😮

@marshroomz

its sweet to see such a nice welcoming community!! no fear of cringe. just silliness and time with others.. something that seems to be really important for this lonely scary time right now. cool vid ! nice work 👍

@TheAdamghost

clowns can be Sexy and Scary sometime both

@Jasonxbr

"Homie, don't play that"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@christycookey6500

Why does everything have to be turned into something sexual? Why can’t people just enjoy being a clown? Why do ya gotta throw the sex aspect into it? They tuned something that would be so wholesome into something kinda perverted. 🤨 to each their own, no hate at all, I just don’t agree with everything being sooo sexual.

@y7y7y-o4b

Weird but still not as weird as those ppl who dress up as dogs.
