Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus clowns (from left) Joel Jeske, Harry Moeller and Rob Lok use their tools to avoid getting blown off the windy top of the Empire State Building Tuesday. The troupe will be performing from Feb. 27-April 1 in the New York area.
Big top, meet Big Apple.
Clowns Joel Jeske, Harry Moeller and Rob Lok lugged their oversized tool box to the top of Empire State Building to promote the upcoming Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus show, “Built to Amaze.”

Later, Moeller got a touch up at Sephora in Times Square.
The trio also visited Grand Central Terminal to get their size 19 1/2 shoes buffed up, and visited the Times Square branch of Sephora to give their clown faces a touch-up.
The famed circus has stops at the Prudential Center in Newark (Feb. 27-March 3), the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J. (March 6-10), the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, L.I. (March 13-17), and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn (March 20-April 1).

And, of course, these clowns know where to get their news.
The Greatest Show on Earth is skipping this year’s performances at the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden, because of ongoing renovations.
