Introduction

I finished high school and had lots of skills like juggling, magic plate spinning, fire eating, unicycle, balloon twisting, stilts, face painting........ I got drafted into the South African army but ended up in the entertainment unit. After my mandatory army service was done I got an offer to join a professional Circus in Europe and traveled for three years doing many different acts. After that I developed a juggling comedy act and that brought me to Las Vegas. I did the act with an American guy for over 10 years working numerous casinos, cruise lines and holiday resorts. I found out I can do better financially and also have more fun working kids birthday parties. This way I don’t have to travel and there’s a never ending supply of kids celebrating their birthdays. I really enjoy what I do, I worked for Circus Circus in the past, Disneyland but to be honest, I really enjoy doing personal parties. I think I have the best job in the world!

Charlie is very professional and well worth the price. We had a large birthday celebration and decided to hire a clown who would entertain the kids for a few hours while adults have some fun too. He did such a great job! It all went smooth and everyone enjoyed the party greatly! Very talented clown - entertainment, baloon twisting, face painting - he does it all! Highly recommending!

Charlie The Clown's reply

It was such a pleasure being part of your celebration! You guys sure know how to throw a wonderful party. I have done a lot of parties in my Clown career, but these kids and parents were beyond belief! Such wonderful energy, I hope to work with you or others like you in the future! Thx 😍👍🏽🎉🤹🏼‍♂️😘🎂🍷

What a great guy. We had a big event with about 70 kids and Charlie was amazing with them. He was so fun even the adults got involved. He made balloon animals, walked around on stilts and engaged everyone with his plate spinning talent. I wil hire Charlie again and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for some entertainment at their party or event. He was really great and reliable. You can tell he loves kids and what he does. He can put a smile on anyones face.

Details: Festival / fair • 151 - 200 guests • 4 - 6 years old • 7 - 10 years old • 11 - 14 years old • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • Face painting is not needed

Charlie The Clown's reply

Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a fun event wasn’t it? The people were warm and friendly and I was delighted to be involved. I look forward to the next time!
