Default Hello from Tony

Hello all,

I am in Louisville Ky, been here about a year. My main talent is balloon twisting, sculpting. In my efforts to be a more comprehensive entertainer, I love making kids smile and laugh, I have started to dabble in magic and patter. I didn't consider myself a clown because I am mostly self trained and I wasn't sure I could fill a clowns shoes with all their many talents. I am going to visit a local alley here in the coming weeks and I am looking forward to talking with others who share many of my new interests. Talk to you soon.

Welcome to the Clown Forum! I think that if you have the motivation to be a clown, you can be a clown. Twisting balloons, making kids smile, a few magic tricks are a great start.

Welcome to the group!

If you want to be a clown, all you really need to be able to do is make people smile and laugh. Any other abilities, like the ones you already have, are bonuses.

Go ahead and readthrough the threads, and ask any questions you want.

Different Clowns have different talents. You don't have to have them ALL to be a great clown!

Welcome, Mr. Silly!

You are in a good spot to be a clown. Perhaps you already know about the Kentucky Clown Derby, held in Louisville every fall. If not, check it out: http:///www.kentuckyclownderby.com/

It's a great clown conference, and the perfect place to meet fellow clowns, learn some new skills, and pick up some fun clown tricks.

Default Welcome...

This is a great forum, and even better now that you've joined us! I haven't been here long, but I've found some clowns from Louisville on here already. I hear there is a great alley there. Well, just jump in, and hang on!
