I've always been interested in juggling, unicycling and the like. But, my revelation came when I bought twist balloons and a box of magic tricks at the dollar store. While amusing some children on a long bus ride, one child pointed and said "That man is silly!". I'm still new to clowning. I don't know what style of red nose to wear or where to buy one. I've tried busking, but want to break into the birthday party scene. I could use advice on just about everything, especially how to find and join my local (I'm in Philadelphia) clown alley.
Here is a link to pic of me in my costume. I made the jacket and hat from a bathrobe.
