I am a storyteller, clown, humorist and balloon artist. I combine all of these skills into interactive and animated story performances for kids of all ages, from kindergarten to retirement communities. I also deliver key note speeches and seminars about storytelling and humor as leadership tools. I facilitate storytelling, clowning and creative story writing workshops.
David did an absolutely awesome job at our party. The party was for children with special needs, which sometimes requires a little additional patience. David immediately integrated himself into the event and created balloon creations for the entire 3 hours. He kept the kids entertained while creating their balloons.
I have no doubt that we'll use David's services again at future events.
Mr. Claunch buys balloons in my shop, Balloon-A-Tics, in Johnson City. I have recommended him for several events and he always gets rave reviews. When he comes in he always takes time to visit with us and demonstrate the latest and greatest balloon figure he is tying. He is such a warm and funny person and we always enjoy seeing him. We feel very fortunate to have someone nearby whom we can recommend so heartily. He has a college degree in English and storytelling from ETSU.
Where does one begin to express the professionalism, silliness and talent of David Claunch. He is a tremendous asset to any event and will create memories that will last generations. David takes something as simple as a bubble wand and quickly has everyone laughing. Balloon twisting is another area that he excels in. I highly recommend David, aka Dr. Dilly Dally for all your next celebration.
