I am terrified of them, so would it be bad ettiquette for me to punch him in the face?

Well....assuming that said clown wasn't about to listen to reason, was seemingly violent and/or threatening, and that you didn't start that situation (by provoking the clown)....note that there are a lot of "ifs" there, ok?
Assuming all of that, and that you can prove in court a pre-existing fear or phobia of clowns....sure, hit him! ^_^
Just don't hit the face, aside from all that greasepaint meakup, you simply have *no idea* where that face, or the makeup on it, has *been*. That would just be unhygienic, and if you split a knuckle or break a nail off and it gets infected....
I'd humbly suggest a *hard body shot* instead. Either drop quickly to one knee (depending on how hard the turf is) and throw a big hard hook to the bottom left (his left, so your right fist) of his ribcage for a liver shot, or if it's concrete underfoot, just plant your feet, get a hand or two up like you're protecting your face, pull the hand in front of you *back hard* as you shout, twist at the waist and throw a classic karate reverse punch to the stomach...or points lower if there is a significant height difference.
Either way though, if you do this, you have *one* clean shot basically, before you have to seriously try to break off....it's called a legal *duty to flee*, so yeah, one punch, make it count, then run like hell. Do that, and have proof in court that the clown was a threat, and/or that you have a phobia, and you should, maybe, get away with it with nothing more than say, "anger management classes" or community service, or maybe some sensitivity training if we are talking about a Clown of Color here. (but then again, is that even possible, how *would* you know??)
But yeah, that should cover the basics....just be careful, you know those clowns, you can *fit a ton of them* in a tiny wee car, so make sure this is a one-on-one thing first....
Take care and stay safe. ^_^ (from the Clowns!)

Why would a clown be up in your face? Anyway, no, don't punch him or you could be arrested for assault. Just tell him to back off.

I would realize that I'm just looking in the mirror, because I am a clown, and I'm offended by clown questions.

sometimes the're is a point in your life where you have to face your fears. My cousin is affraid of clowns and she is 22. Don't feel bad. I would just play along with it so you don't embarace yourself.

I'd squeeze his big red nose and ask him why it didn't honk. Then I'd question his masculinity as a skirt wearing clown.

I would laugh and ask what is wrong with him or her but i'm not violent so I wouldn't hit it.
