Boozie the Clown Causes Stir

Boozie the Clown Causes Stir with Risqué Balloon Act

Downtown New Port Richey DOWNTOWN —

Local eccentric and self-proclaimed performance artist “Timmy the Booze Clown,” better known by his street name Boozie, left residents shocked and bemused after a street performance that veered far from family-friendly entertainment. The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon, March 20th, in the heart of the downtown shopping district. Witnesses say Boozie, a bowlegged homeless man in a worn-out clown suit and frizzled rainbow wig, drew a sizable crowd with his usual antics — juggling empty Jack Daniel’s bottles, honking a broken bicycle horn off-key, and swaying through what could generously be described as interpretive dance. But what began as another one of Boozie’s eccentric performances quickly took a bizarre turn. “He pulled out this bag of balloons, and I thought, okay, here come the animals,” said one onlooker. “Then he made what looked like a dachshund… until he turned it sideways and winked. That’s when I realized — it wasn’t a dog.” According to multiple eyewitnesses, Boozie’s balloon creations escalated in absurdity and vulgarity. Among the most controversial: the so-called “trouser snake” and “double-humped cameltoe.” Some even described his balloon animals as including anatomically suggestive parts, leaving many parents shielding their children’s eyes. “It was hilarious at first,” said one downtown shopkeeper, “but then he gave a balloon to a kid — not a wiener dog, but something else entirely. Let’s just say it wasn’t appropriate.” Public response has been divided. Some residents dismiss the act as harmless if inappropriate comedy, blaming the clown’s apparent overindulgence. Others are calling for stricter enforcement of public decency laws. “He’s a menace,” one parent said, visibly angry. “What kind of clown thinks this is okay to do in front of kids?” When approached for comment, Boozie simply pedaled away on his squeaky unicycle, leaving behind laughter, discomfort, and a few popped balloons. “All in a day’s work,” he reportedly muttered, vanishing into the night.---
