This is the awkwardly hilarious moment a backflipping rodeo clown ended up face-first in a pile of poop.

A 18-second clip shows the performer, dressed in a leotard and tutu, perform a series of impressive backflips while barefoot at a rodeo show.

It was not immediately known where the footage was filmed.

But the audience are heard cheering and applauding the backflips - until the drag queen loses her footing and slips.

She is seen stumbling around trying to regain her balance, but faceplants right into the unfortunately located feces - which makes viewers cheer louder.

The performer is seen getting up after the embarrassing moment with poop smeared across the face - but doesn't appear too fazed, simply wiping it off and walking away.
