Hello, I Am The Silly Man
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. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ode/noodly.jpg |

Welcome to the Clown Forum!  Are you just interested in juggling and unicycle or can you actually juggle and ride? I am interested in learning both, but have yet to find time in my busy schedule to really practice. |

Howdy and welcome to the group. As far looking for an Alley, go, you can go to Clowns of America International and WELCOME TO WORLD CLOWN ASSOCIATION to see if one is near you.

Check out this webpage: State Clowns
As far as alleys check out this page: Alleys
I saw five alleys in PA
Welcome to the Forum Silly. Take your time and read the old posts look in the gallery and you can see what some of the rest of us crazy people look like. I'm thinking for starters, Chance might be a good one to talk to. |
