Clown Capers Frequently Asked Questions

[ Home ]

Q.  Does your company offer costumed characters?

A.  We normally perform as a comedy magician as shown on the Don-pix page. We do NOT perform dressed as Barney, Spiderman, etc., because these are licensed characters, and to do so would be unlawful.

Q. What is the appropriate age group for your type of party show?

A. Our private party shows are most appropriate for ages 4--12 and the adults really enjoy watching the show and the children's reactions. We also perform special shows for other age groups, as shown on our Shows page, and stage shows for large groups, such as Blue-and-Gold banquets, etc. Our walk-around magic and balloon sculpturing is appropriate for malls, picnics and promotions is entertaining for all age groups.

Q. What is the best number of children at a private party?

A. If the party is held at a home, we recommend a group of about 15 -- 20 children. If the show is held at a community center or other venue with a party room, larger groups can be accommodated. We will always try to accommodate groups of any size.

 Q. Do you perform at locations other than private homes?

A. We can perform at most any location. The logistics at some restaurants are sometimes difficult to negotiate. In such cases, a private party room is recommended, so that the children are not distracted by other customers.
