It´s quite difficult to say what is the difference of a clown and a comedian.  Somehow I created this kind of list.  There are at least three kind of clowns : 1) circus clowns 2)contemporary clowns who don´t necessary wear a red nose 2) some comedians on TV and on the screen who act in a clownish way.

Below you can see a list of contemporary clowns which was shown in the end of one YouTube clip:
 

Leo Bassi, Virginia Imaz, Faemino y Cansado, Peter Echo, Peter Shub, Carlo Colombaioni, Laura Herts, Monti, Fofito, Johnny Melville, Pepe Plana, Oriolo, Philippe Gaulier, Buffo

More profound list of clowns with lots of information  can be seen in CIRCOPEDIA. For extra information, please click WIKIPEDIA - list of clowns.
