Drew Gulak on being a circus clown before being a wrestler
Drew Gulak may currently be a professional wrestler in the top wrestling company of the world, but such was not always the case.
In fact, before coming to WWE, Gulak revealed that he had numerous odd jobs where he worked in various roles. One of the jobs that he had was at a recreation center where he was the swimming instructor.
From there, he came to meet another instructor who needed help. At the time, the other instructor worked as a clown, and Gulak agreed to help her. He had to work as a circus clown for the Jewish kids of the community he lived in. They would go to a synagogue or a Jewish Hebrew school and entertain the children there.
“One of my part time jobs before WWE happened is I worked as a circus clown for Jewish kids. I used to work at a recreation center. I was a swimming instructor…Northeast Philly has a strong Jewish community. One of the other instructors said she needed somebody to help her. She worked as a clown. I would have to put on the rainbow wig and I would go all out and get as crazy as I could. I would wear crazy colorful shirts and pink socks pulled all the way up. We would go to a synagogue or a Jewish Hebrew school in the area and entertain them for a while.” - h/t Wrestling News Co
