following: juggling, stilt walking, unicycling, party games, stories, clown
antics, clown magic, twisty balloon animals, sculptures, hats, etc. and if you
wish this may also include temporary tattoos, face painting, bubbles, ETC.!!!

Q My child is afraid of clowns. What do your characters look like?
A Coulrophobia, or Fear of Clowns, is usually due to
contact with clowns of BIGGER-THAN-LIFE features and/or personalities. Creating
more positive experiences to out-number the more fearful ones is the best
remedy. Clown Clubhouse specializes in clowns with a friendly, humanistic
approach to entertaining. Our costuming and personalities are designed with
young audiences in mind.
Birthday parties are intimate affairs and we give our
audiences a chance to warm up to us and meet us on their timing. Usually by the
end of a party the child who is shying away at first is the one who won't let
go of our legs when it's time to go!

she loved you. She's been asking ever since when Honeydew will come again.!"

Q What is Honeydew's black box?
A Honeydew carries with
her a pallet of colors & sparkles, which she uses to paint the most
exquisitely, delightful faces.
"I've been to many fairs,
amusement parks, and other such public events and yet I've never seen face
painting like this! This is by far the best. You are truly an artist!"

Q When is the best time for the clown/entertainer to arrive?
A Due to the fact that
some guests arrive fashionably late to
events, we suggest that the clown arrive at least 1/2 hour after the party starts. These gives time
for guests to arrive, settle in and enjoy the clown's entrance.
•
• •
Q Should I feed my guests before or after the clown entertains?
A Either option is fine.
If you should feed your guests before hand, you might provide the necessary
wash-up supplies so that the children don't stick to the clown during the
performance when volunteering to help out or so face paint isn't being applied
to pizza sauce or jelly cheeks! :
