In Rayman Redemption

One of those nasty big clowns offered to trade my sausage truck for this ice cream machine. But this thing is busted! I can't believe I got scammed like that. And I used to be such a good hot dog vendor, too...

—The Clown Chef, Rayman Redemption

Wow! You actually got it working! If I'd known it would be that easy I'd have just punched the machine myself. You can take my old sausage pan, I have no use for it anymore thanks to you!

—The Clown Chef thanking Rayman., Rayman Redemption

The Clown Chef is a friendly character encountered in Rayman Redemption at the beginning of Choco Chambers, lamenting over the broken ice cream machine he traded for his sausage truck. After Rayman fixes his ice-cream machine, the Clown Chef gives him his old frying pan, which Rayman can use to slide on slippery surfaces.

The Clown Chef subsequently appears in the corrupted Lonely Cliff alongside Rayman's other friends to encourage him. He's finally seen in the ending, serving ice creams from his machine to various characters, including a Water clown, a Hammer clown, a little Livingstone and the Ring pirate, while Bad Cake and three Electoons are also present at the scene. Due to the Ring pirate appearing in this part of the ending, the image was updated in version 1.1.0 to reflect the pirates' altered appearances.

In Rayman ReDesigner

The Clown Chef returns in Rayman ReDesigner since version 1.3.0 as a decorative NPC, alongside more friendly characters from Rayman Redemption. However, the ice cream machine does not return.

Additionally, the frying pans such as the one he gifted to Rayman are available since the game's original release.

Trivia

• He is designed after the Chef clowns, enemies found in the Game Boy Advance adaptation of Rayman Raving Rabbids.
• The Clown Chef's voice when he's speaking is made of samples from the big clown enemies' voices returning from Rayman 1.
• His dialogues mentioning his past involving sausages are most likely also a reference to the Chef clowns enemies as they wielded what appeared to be either a sausage or a rolling pin as a weapon.
• The ice cream machine may also be a nod to the ice cream cones from the Sweets world of Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Game Boy Advance, and so is the fact the Clown Chef is met in Choco Chambers which later features a new background very similar to that world.
