Set in the 1980s, Gus Porter is a kids birthday party clown, he's tired, usually grumpy and sarcastic, unless he's doing his job and trying to make kids laugh, usually at the cost of his own dignity. He wears a fake red afro over his short brown hair underneath, clown makeup, and a clown suit. He has a New Jersey accent and is 38 years old. He loves to smoke. Under the clown makeup he has bushy eyebrows, a short, but big mustache, and somewhat dark eye bags under his tired brown eyes.
