When hiring a clown for a birthday party, festival, or church event, it’s important to consider various factors to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Experience and Skill Level:
   • Look for clowns with experience in performing at events similar to yours.
   • Check for reviews, testimonials, or references from previous clients to gauge their professionalism and skill level.
2. References and Reviews:
   • Ask for references or read online reviews to get an idea of the clown’s reputation and the experiences of others who have hired them.
3. Portfolio or Demo Reel:
   • Request a portfolio or demo reel showcasing the clown’s performances. This can help you assess their style, versatility, and the variety of skills they bring to the table.
4. Cost and Packages:
   • Clearly understand the cost of hiring the clown and what is included in the package. Some clowns may offer different packages with varying services, such as balloon twisting, face painting, or magic tricks.
5. Availability and Schedule:
   • Confirm the clown’s availability for the date and time of your event. Discuss any scheduling conflicts or requirements to ensure a smooth and timely performance.
6. Costume and Appearance:
   • Discuss the clown’s costume and appearance to ensure it aligns with the theme of your event and is appropriate for the audience, especially if it’s a church event or a children’s party.
7. Entertainment Style:
   • Communicate your expectations regarding the clown’s entertainment style. Some clowns focus on slapstick comedy, while others may specialize in magic, storytelling, or interactive games.
8. Insurance and Liability:
   • Ensure that the clown has liability insurance to cover any unforeseen accidents or incidents during the event. This is particularly important if the event involves children.
9. Communication Skills:
   • Assess the clown’s communication skills and ability to engage with different age groups. A good clown should be able to adapt to the audience and create a positive, inclusive atmosphere.
10. Contract and Terms:
    • Have a written contract that clearly outlines the terms of the agreement, including the date, time, duration, services provided, and payment details. This helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures both parties are on the same page.
11. Backup Plan:
    • Inquire about a backup plan in case of unexpected circumstances that may prevent the clown from attending the event. This demonstrates the clown’s professionalism and commitment to your event.

By carefully considering these factors, you can help ensure a successful and enjoyable experience when hiring a clown for your birthday party, festival, or church event
