Join the Club

Ever thought about becoming a clown?

The St. Paul Clown Club welcomes people of all ages who enjoy making others smile, laugh, and have fun. Whether you are a seasoned performer or someone who has simply wondered what it would be like to put on the makeup and entertain a crowd, there is a place for you here.

Clowning is an art form that blends creativity, humor, character, and performance. Some clowns tell jokes. Some create visual comedy. Others specialize in juggling, magic, balloon twisting, music, or simply interacting with people and bringing joy wherever they go.

No matter your style, the St. Paul Clown Club offers a welcoming place to experience the art of clowning.
