The speech this question is referring to is President Kennedy's Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National Needs, May 25, 1961
Kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:
<em>"Yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. They have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. They send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. But where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in Vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)</em>
President Kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation.

This is the sentence that contains the pun.
What best explains the pun here is that Kiko is a circus act at a circus show but she does not know when to be serious as she gets so silly during rehearsals.
The show directors believe she would be in more circus performances if she would learn when to stop clowning around.
The pun here is clowning around.
Explanation:
A pun is a play on words. It is a literary device that has two different meanings.
From the answer above, a clown is someone that makes people laugh through making funny faces and jesting. A clown is usually found in a circus.
Kiko works in a circus and because of her playful nature, she doesnt appear in a lot of circus performances.
