Add to favouritesA classic choice for children's entertainment, clowns bring colour and energy to birthday parties and family events. Clowns are a colourful and vibrant choice for entertainment, that are sure to be loved by all the guests at your event.
If you're looking to hire a clown, the first thing to think about is what kind of show you would like them to perform - static clown show, walkabout act or meet and greet. Each one will have its advantages for different events. You should also be able to view promotional material that will give you an example of the clown's routine, as each clown will have a different act. Some will use magic and other tricks, others will perform routines and other comedy.
As with any children's performer, it's important to make sure that a clown for children's parties has the correct certificates of insurance and for background checks.
Modern party clowns provide far more than traditional circus acts. Most combine comedy with interactive entertainment including magic shows, puppet performances and games that engage children of all ages. Many specialize in balloon twisting to create elaborate sculptures and animals, while others incorporate face painting into their performances. Professional entertainers often work alongside other children's entertainers to create complete party packages that keep guests entertained throughout the event.
While birthday parties remain the most popular booking, clown entertainers excel at family-friendly events of all kinds. Wedding receptions with children benefit from dedicated entertainment that allows adults to celebrate while keeping younger guests engaged. Corporate family days, school events and community festivals frequently feature clown acts as centerpiece entertainment. Some performers specialize in themed shows that complement other entertainment like princess parties or work with caricature artists for complete event packages.
Professional clown entertainers typically charge between $99 and $2500 depending on performance length, travel distance and specific requirements. Standard one-hour birthday party performances average $355, with longer shows and additional services like balloon modeling or magic workshops commanding premium rates. Factors affecting cost include performer experience, costume complexity, and whether acts include props, music systems or assistant performers.
