Clown Ministry in your diocese?

Hi all, first ever post here on Reddit. I'm in the Diocese of Indianapolis. I was recently talking with some friends at church about their experiences growing up in other traditions and one of them had several pictures of him doing clown ministry in full makeup and costume. I know that my diocese had a thing called the "Chapel of the Clowns" back in the mid-1970s, but it thankfully was quickly put out to pasture. I'm curious how prevalent the practice was/is in your area and if you have ever done some clowning for Christ yourself.
