Well Newbie
"Going Rate" varies widely by the area that you are in. If you want to find out what clowns in your area are charging, call them up and ask them.
If you have never done this before and it is for your friend, charge them enough to cover your expences and consider the rest as a gift for your friends child.
You will be gaining something other then money that you can't buy, experience.
You don't want to charge as much as professional clowns your first time out. People that do that give the industry a reputation of being unprofessional. Tell people that you are charging less because you are just starting out. People that can't afford professional entertainment will still hire you and they will respect your honesty.
I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
