January 1, 2025Outstanding absolutely more than expected!! Over the top
Charlie made our New Yeats Eve Party truly a hit out 200 plus guests of the Boulder City Elks Lodge #1682 where did you find this guy we need to use him again. Charlie was warm fun and pleasant felt like we knew him forever, we would “ highly” recommend him to add fun for all your party events !!!! Well worth the money you”ll be amazed , Thank you Charlie look forward to the next party.

Wow, Dale, thank you so much for the most wonderful review. I really appreciate it! It was such a fun event, but of course the people made it so fun and I appreciated every single one of them. I posted all the 69 pictures and eight clips on Facebook but if you need an iCloud link to the original files, let me know.

April 4, 2022Better than I could have imagined!!
I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I booked a clown for my daughter’s 7th birthday. I’ve never been to a party with a clown so this was totally new for me. Charlie was AMAZING!!! The kids absolutely loved him. The adults (even the skeptical ones) loved him too and were surprised by how much fun *they* had with Charlie lol. He’s so fun and high energy. His act is so interactive than he becomes a part of the party, not just some entertainer that you sit and watch. I cannot say enough good things about him. A true professional who absolutely loves what he does and it shows. The vibe/energy he brings to the party the moment he walks in… you just know he’s something special. ❤️❤️

February 23, 2026Definitely recommend
We had an incredible experience with Charlie at our event! From the moment he arrived, he brought a fun, high-energy presence that immediately grabbed guests’ attention. In addition to stilt walking, he also did balloon twisting and juggling, which guests absolutely loved.
He was also very communicative throughout the entire planning process, making coordination easy and stress-free. He even customized and changed his costume to match the theme we were looking for, which made everything feel cohesive and intentional. definitely recommend!!!!

What to expect
There is a big difference between a professional clown and someone who has just started doing it. I am proud to do Stilts, Juggling, Magic, Plate spinning, Balloon animals, Unicycle, Face painting, Fire juggling.
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
I always arrive at least 30 minutes to an hour after the party starts, as people with young children almost always come late. I like to arrive on stilts. I always request the parent to keep kids away from the front of the house so I can make my surprise entrance!
My shows are highly interactive and it's far better to let kids sit on a blanketed ground level. I don't need much room, but it is a good idea to not have any major noise or TV on during my show.
Never push a young child forward, some are scared if they have never seen a clown. Let them stay in the room, even if they do cry at first. I guarantee when they see the other kids interacting, they will warm up. By the end of the party, they will be just fine!!!!!!
Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
Birthday parties, school shows, company picnics, Holiday parties. I focus on children, but have done shows for adults too. –
What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
In my business (Birthday Party Clown) people sometimes don't realize the difference between a good clown and a great clown. I take pride working for Disneyland, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Clown College as a teacher and Circus Circus here in Vegas.
Some clowns don't even wear a real wig or take pride in their makeup. I always believe in keeping the magic alive and showing up in full character. I know that there are people who are scared of clowns, but I still know that the benefits of being a "real clown" far outweigh the "clown-a-phobia".
Describe three recent jobs you've completed.
I did one on top of the World Market Center for a 1 year old's birthday. What a great view from the top!
I was recently part of the Wine and Dine at the Luxor pool. I was hired by Back Bar and worked directly for Tito's Vodka. What a great event and I was a strolling Tito's Vodka bilboard sign!
I worked the Thomas The Train event out at the Boulder City Railway. They had me do 7 shows a day for two weekends in a row. Every time a train came back, I did a show for the families waiting to go aboard!
Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
I have made my full time living as a professional clown and entertainer in Las Vegas since 1985. This is NOT a hobby, it is my FULL TIME CAREER! . I LOVE what I do and focus my attention on the birthday child. It is always amazing when that kid has a GREAT time, and all the adults have a GREAT time too!
I have worked in Vegas as a clown since the 80ies and over the years have worked with so many kids. Some have grown up and hired me for their kids. I did a party the other day where they had a picture up on the wall from 17 years ago with me and their kid. They wanted me to pose in the same pose with their grand-kid!
What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
How much do you charge?
I have three (3) party plans:
1 hour ($185) stilts, juggling, magic, plate spinning, balloon animals, fire juggling, give aways. (15 kids or less)
2 hours ($275) stilts, juggling, magic, plate spinning, balloon animals, fire juggling, give aways Plus face painting (up to 20 kids)
3 hours ($350) stilts, juggling, magic, plate spinning, balloon animals, unicycle, fire juggling, give aways Plus face painting (up to 30 kids)
If you don't want a clown, there are other options:
How much notice do you need before a party?
I take bookings up to a year ahead and have on the rare occasion been booked on the day of the party.(i.e. when another clown cancels, I have stepped in at the last minute). I don't need any advance booking time, but there is only one of me and most people want to reserve time on Saturday or Sunday. When I am booked, I am booked. I prefer to work with no deposits and payment in cash on the day of the party!
About
Ringling Brothers Clown College teacher, Disneyland and Circus Circus Clown. Shows in and around Las Vegas.
Specializing in Birthday Parties
What I Do for Parties:
Stilts, Juggling, Magic, Plate spinning, Balloon animals, Unicycle, Face painting, Fire juggling.
I moved to Las Vegas in 1985 and have done many parties over the years. Believe it or not, this is all that I do for a living, it sure beats working! My clown shows are highly interactive. I prefer for the kids to sit on the ground level on a blanket or carpet rather than on chairs for the show. That perfect picture with a clown and a birthday cake is worth it's weight in gold.
If you want a fun, exciting party you and your family will cherish, I believe I am your clown.
Additional booking notes
If it is a stage show, I do need a cordless headphone mike, as my hands need to be free to juggle!
