Krusty The Clown Adult Fancy Dress Costume

Interests… cigarettes. Grunting. Anything not involving children, laughter, or guest appearances. Krusty is tired of his life and his only interests are distractions from his life of celebrity and responsibility. Drug addiction is the least of his problems. In 1962, Krusty worked in Las Vegas briefly after running in to Murdering Mort "The Murderer" Murderosi. He was approached to do 1,000 shows at Murderosi's casino, Nero's Trough. Krusty had his own slot machine on stage, but got addicted and chased out by the police. He then went on to Branson, Missouri.

Once Krusty faked his own death, only to be rediscovered by his greatest fan, Bart Simpson. In the end, Krusty may very well always have to be Krusty. Perkins, Dennis (November 25, 2018).
