How to Find a Clown

Hire a clown for your next event!

A good clown can make any child's party fun and memorable. Corporate events, special occasions, even weddings can all be made more entertaining with the antics of a clown. The key is to find and hire a clown that knows how to keep an audience entertained.

Instructions

1. Get a referral. Ask your friends, coworkers and neighbors with kids for recommendations. If they haven't have hired a clown, they may have seen one perform recently at a party, and can put you in touch with the host. If you don't have friends with young kids, call a local church or youth group to see if they can refer you to someone they use to entertain at their functions.

2. Call up local party companies in your area. Look up party planners or party services in your phone book or locally on line. An established party company for clowns and other entertainers generally vet performers before allowing them to work, and they may even offer a service guarantee.

3. Check online for a private clown. There are several online directories of clowns for hire nationwide, with listings in every state. Some may have individual websites with photos and testimonials from past clients. Contact those you interested in and find out what services they offer for your budget.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your clown or entertainer has insurance that protects you from liability if he is injured at your event.
