The infamous, hilarious, Busy Bee skit as performed by Jim Howle (right), Dave Mitchell (left) and Lee Mullally (not pictured). The audience seats needed seat belts, to prevent us from falling out of them while laughing. This was on one of the Open Mike sessions, which was supposed to give the Clown Campers a chance to get up & perform -- the staff tended to "fill in" during the first day or two, while we got our courage up -- which, frankly was a good thing, as it gave us some excellent ideas from some of the best. p.s. the Busy Bee skit was created by Coco, and is included in several collections of skits, including World's Funniest Clown Skits
