This candidate is clowning around.

Pat Payaso is running for Boston City Council and doing so in full clown makeup and uniform.

Payaso, which means "clown" in Spanish, announced the campaign on Twitter earlier this month.

Payaso was recently featured in a interview series with other at-large candidates and was asked about funding for Boston Public Schools.

Payaso, in full clown garb and holding a large sign shaped like a dollar symbol, did not speak during the interview. Instead, when asked about his opinion on school funding, the clown pointed to the dollar-symbol sign and an infographic that appeared to show the percentage changes in funding to Boston Public Schools over the past 15 years.

He ended the interview with a dance.

The candidate has made two contributions to his campaign, one for $100 and the other for $1 million, according to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance.

In a campaign video posted on Youtube, the clown promises to "kiss the most babies," get kids into good schools and improve affordable housing. The video takes a satirical turn after the clown promises to "waste money on signs, not schools," and posts #Payaso posters over signs featuring Mayor Marty Walsh's name.

The Boston Herald spoke to Steven Coes, who was listed as the clown's campaign manager, but he flip-flopped on whether or not he was actually backing the candidate.

At-large candidate Annissa Essaibi George told Boston Herald Radio that Payaso is making a mockery of the political process.

There are four open at-large council seats this year. Payaso will face off against seven other candidates on Nov. 7.
