Fantastic service

I booked Grandma Bingo for a last minute campus event and she was very friendly and professional the entire time. My organization's mission is to bring awareness for upcoming elections and having her at our table definitely helped draw attention. 10/10 would book again!

The absolute best!

Grandma Bingo it’s an absolute delight. Her communication was outstanding. She came prepared and was early for the event. She worked diligently through it, efficiently creating innovative, balloon designs and putting smiles on hundreds of kids faces for hours on end. We absolutely will be booking her for all future events. Thank you so much for making such a special day for our kids!

Balloon Grandma (Not Clown)

I was under the impression I was hiring a Clown due to pictures and name. However, we got a really sweet grandma who sat in a chair and made balloons twisters.

Kind, Caring, Punctual

Grandma bingo was awesome at my pre wedding event! All the kids and adults loved her, she was so kind. She even made a lovely heart with mine and my husbands name on it. Book her! Don’t listen to the negative reviews, she is an absolute doll and light to work with. God bless!

Fantastic! Highly Recommend Bingo!

Bingo arrived early, and the kids were so excited to get a balloon animal, flower, person etc.. She got right to it and started making creations. The kids absolutely loved her!

I would highly recommend!

Horrible!!

Oh my goodness worst experience ever!! She painted 4 kids face while having such a nasty attitude.. Couldn't of made more than 10 balloons.. I'm really not trying to be mean if she's not in it anymore that's totally understandable but there is no way that she is worth a hundred plus dollars an hour (maybe 40yrs ago) Im just So disappointed!!

Response from Bingo the Balloon Clown:

1hr face painting 1hr balloons in the yard there were 2 big theta next to each other and there was a trampoline no one every was ever on it she had me at one of the tents there were only 10 kids I did paint 4 or 5 and I made balloons I made one for the B D girl and the some for the kids when B D girl came back I made her baby balloon then it pop I said that is ok I can fix it they gave me the balloons and I pop the body and made a new one B D girl had left so I gave it to one of the lady after about 45 min when no more kids came I put my face paints away and went in the garage to make balloons I made all the ladies and what kids wanted balloons I talked and had a nice time with the ladies when I got really to leave I said good by I hope everyone had a good time the lady ask me if I wanted a snow cone I Said yes then a lady I made a balloon for gave me a $5 tip the lady gave me the snow cone and said I put it in a cup for you not the paper cone it comes with she help me to my car and never said she was unhappy with me now in the garage is where they had all the food cotton candy snow. Cones and lots of candy they also had pony rides that came at the same time I did so the kids all wanted the pony rides I think the mom was mad that a lot of people didn’t show up after she spent so much money I think she hopes she can get money back when I left no one was in the yard that how it was all the time I was there when I saw she made a comment I was happy but when I open it WHAT???

Very dependable…aims to please.

Bingo didn’t come as a clown as requested and she showed up well in advance and confirmed everything. Kids loved her at the farmers market making balloons upon request. You’d never guess how old she is because she’s got some quick magic hands.

BINGO THE CLOWN IN ALYSSAS 3RD BIRTHDAY CIRCUS PARTY

I would recommend Bingo, the Grandma CLOWN, to anyone in a second! My daughter's 3rd Birthday Party was scheduled on April 15, 2018, and she wanted a circus themed party. After browsing a few sites, I happened to end up on Gigsalad.com for the first time. I liked how there was a preview/description on each option, as far as the entertainers went. And choosing Bingo ended up working out beautifully! Unfortunately, however, the party had to be rescheduled due to weather, but it still worked out because we rescheduled for the 29th. Everything stayed the same. Bingo did a magic show, balloon making, and face painting! The kids and adults interacted with her better than I expected! She was so cool and so funny. Choose Bingo! She'll come through for you!
