Breakdown:

Role Name Gender Ethnicity Age Range Description
Jerry Male Any Ethnicity 18-24 Jerry -- the protagonist, a deeply depressed male clown, uncomfortable in both his clown suit and his own body. Jerry is searching for more meaning in his life than just making balloon animals...but he can make some pretty sweet giraffes.

Jerry\'s Brother Male Any Ethnicity 31-40 Jerry's Brother #1 -- very upbeat, pressures Jerry to remain in his clown persona.
