    “I'm not a clown! Can I still attend?”

    Absolutely! Clown alley meetings are not just for clowns. They’re for "First of Mays" (newbies), veteran clowns, entertainers, and those simply interested in the art of clowning. We encourage you to attend a few meetings to see if our alley is a good fit for you!

    We want to share our love of clowning with everyone. And who knows... maybe you’ll be the next great clown!

    "What should I bring?"

    All you need to bring is YOU!

    We will occasionally have meetings where we will need supplies (balloons, ukuleles, face paint, etc.). These are optional, and you can still have fun without bringing anything. Check out the blog for issues of the Clown Chronicles, our monthly newsletter,for info on the upcoming meeting!

  • A group of five clowns dressed in colorful costumes performing together indoors, with one clown in a blue pinstripe suit and red and white striped pants holding a baton, while the others watch and laugh.

    "How can I perform with the alley or book you for private events?"

    Perform at open mic sessions during meetings, participate in community outreach events, or volunteer for scheduled performances.

    However, we are a nonprofit organization and when you hire our alley, proceeds go to the clown alley.
