Default Hello All (Fire Clown in Training)

I am new to offical clowning, but most people have considered me a clown my whole life. I am a full-time firefighter/ paramedic. I started juggling when I was a kid. Just recently, I got started doing balloon twisting. I got some books and videos and have picked it up pretty quickly. I started doing this for my kids, but realized I could incorperate this into some of my fire safety talks and fund raising for charity. So here I am, transforming myself into "Moe the Fire Clown".

I would love any advice and tips when it comes to performing. I have no problem being in front of people and talking. I just want to be as entertaining as possible.

Thanks,
Jeff (Moe the Fire Clown)

Welcome Moe! Glad to have you around. You'll learn lots from these guys. They're great! Be sure to check out old posts for some really good tips, hints, advice, you name it. There's even a thread specially for balloon twisting. Be sure to check that out. There are instructions, pictures, links... lots of help. There is so much free stuff on the web it's rediculous! You'll love it, I just know it!
