The Greasepaint Lightning Project

Summoning Albert Clownley



Albert Clownley is a complex, enigmatic character leading the mysterious clown cult Greasepaint Lightning. He is a philosophical clown, merging humor with a dark, twisted sensibility. Albert often shares cryptic, paradoxical sayings, blending comedy and menace. His appearance is quintessentially clownish, but his demeanor hints at deeper intelligence and chaos. His philosophy, akin to a clownish Tao Te Ching, reflects his belief in life's absurdity and the need to embrace chaos and humor. Albert represents life's unpredictability, delivering insights that are comically profound and disconcerting, making him a unique, unsettling figure in the realm of clowns.


Albert Clownley is not “real” in the traditional sense. He has been, up to now, a character from an unpublished screenplay. This project’s goal is to summon forth Clownley’s persona from that screenplay and using artificial intelligence give him voice beyond the constraints of the original narrative.
