Where do you need a Clown?
FAQ about booking a Clown
On average, professional clowns cost about $100-$300 for 1 hour of entertainment making them one of the more affordable children’s performers. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of your event, the clown’s experience, and which activities you’d like them to do. Some clowns will also offer face painting, balloon twisting, or magic shows.
Clowns are most commonly booked for 1-hour appearances. Consider the size of your event and the number of attendees that will be present, especially children, when determining how long to book a clown for. When planning larger events, you might consider hiring multiple clowns to mingle and interact with your guests.
Tipping is always recommended and encouraged for any performer you hire. Consider your satisfaction with their performance as well as the experience of working with them when choosing a tip amount. Standard tipping practices suggest you tip 10-20% of the total booking price. You could also discuss a tip jar of some sort for the performer to let your guests handle the tipping.
With their colorful costumes and silly jokes, party clowns are well-suited for providing kids entertainment for events like children’s birthday parties and school fairs or festivals.
But clowns are not limited to kids birthdays – they can be fun party entertainment for all types of events. Consider clown characters for your family-friendly corporate events, company picnics, block parties, or anycircus-themed party.
