May 13, 2026Josh was amazing at my son's birthday party! The kids absolutely loved having him do balloons. He played Pokémon music to match my son's theme, came before the party to do a chalk Happy Birthday, and kept the kids engaged. If someone's balloon popped he happily made a new one. Even the adults were entertained and got balloons too! Highly recommend Josh for your next party! He is great with communication, friendly, kind, and just overall has great energy with the kids.

February 27, 2024Josh did an hour of entertainment for my son's 4th birthday. 30 minutes of a juggling act and 30 minutes of balloon twisting. We had mixed ages ranging from babies to adolescents and of course the adults; Josh did a great job tailoring the show to have a little something for everyone. The kids loved the balloon twisting in the end too, and it seemed like there was nothing Josh couldn't twist up. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh for anyone on the fence.

I will arrive with time to set up and get into costume if I am not already in one. Every show is different and can be catered to your needs or I can run it myself. Sometimes I'll start with music, greetings, ninja/super hero training, and then some dance songs like the chicken dance, hokey pokey, etc. Pictures and balloons are also a favorite, along with juggling and other demonstrations. Magic shows are upon request that typically run 30 minutes to one hour. When hiring a clown I will usually come without any makeup but with a clown nose. I can come with makeup if requested but there may be a small charge. Audience members and clients alike can expect to be left with a priceless smile, a life long memory, and happiness to be shared forever.
Hooray!! You want to book me for your event, trade show or celebration! I can't wait! I love entertaining! I started entertaining as a child when I would play jokes on kids. As an adult I have taken things a bit more serious. O.K. well maybe not that serious. I still like to play jokes on kids, but now the jokes are usually on me. I guess thats why I like being a clown. Growing up was tough and I sometimes wonder if I ever will.
My childhood was about as normal as it could get being the youngest of 5. I worked factory and hard labor jobs as a young adult, but it just wasn't fulfilling. I was destined for more. No, not the 9-5 office job, or the late night doorman at the club. I tried that, but I wanted something else. Teaching skateboarding was both fun and rewarding, but I still needed more. So I began to juggle.
I have dedicated days to juggling. When I say days I mean literally days of non-stop juggling. I have a repertoire of 3 ball tricks, and can do up to five quite well. Six and seven balls just looks silly, but is definitely possible. It became an obsession. Some days you could catch me juggling through the store or at a park. I even ran my first and only half marathon while juggling a three ball cascade the whole way (which I dropped about twenty times). Occasionally I would over hear a child crying in a store, and I would go and juggle for them. It would instantly cheer them up. It was like magic.
I started juggling and stilt-walking at festivals until one day I met a magician who hired me to be a clown for a child's birthday party. Shortly after the magician, who became my agent, began to teach me some magic and more balloon animals. I would dress up as super-heros/ninjas for parties to do super-hero/ninja training, balloons, magic, games, dancing, and juggling. I was hooked. I love to see and make children happy! I then found more agents to work for, and more parties to entertain.
Then you booked me for your event which was cheaper than going through an agent, and the rest is history. :)
The more you have the better! I supply the basics, such as a costume, balloons, props, and a bluetooth speaker with music. If you have a stage, lighting, or sound that's great, but not necessary.
