Unverifiable, all the external links in this article are dead. Pretty much all of the hits on Google seem to have originated from Wikipedia. The only thing I could find was this, which does not make the subject notable either because it is merely a passing mention. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 03:45, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Here are some more sources, but not enough to prove WP:GNG:
- https://www.pitch.com/home/article/20614385/honest-clowns (2001) "Honest Clowns": probably just a fluff piece — seems to be a magazine but https://www.pitch.com/work-here says they want someone to "Be an expert in print, digital and event-sponsorships sales." and "Consult, educate, strategize and successfully sell The Pitch’s products through a high volume of phone and in-person calls." without saying what its "products" are, so this is probably an event promoter rather than journalism.
- http://newsok.com/article/1919993 (2003) "Clowns troupe to perform at libraries for spring break": legitimate newspaper; small summary followed by where they'll be performing for free
- https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/kapoot/Content?oid=917010 (2004) "Kapoot" — independent review; short but directly about the subject
- http://webs.wichita.edu/dt/insidewsu/show/article.asp?329 (2004) "KAPOOT carries physical theater to extreme entertainment": extensive, but not independent for notability purposes: advance coverage because of a show at the same university --Closeapple (talk) 21:59, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Dean Evans (performer) might be notable; Kapoot Clown Theater is not. Only 65 Google hits for the phrase, of which the couple decent ones relate to Mr. Evans. Carrite (talk) 19:14, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
