I want to thank everyone for their patience during July.  Not only is it the busiest month of the clowning year, I had special duty to do.  The Cedar Bridge Academy from New Jersey had their Summer Encampment (Basic Training) at Camp Tuckahoe in Dillsburg.  As their Training NCOIC, any of my waking hours not spent with Jimbo was spent teaching 11-17yo the basics of military life.  Copy and paste this link for more information:

The academy has now returned to NJ, so you will see updates to this website more often.

Fall will be here before we know it. For Jimbo, that means September and a trip to Seaside Heights, NJ for "ClownFest 08".  This is the time I take to re-charge my "clowning batteries", learn new magic and balloon animals. If you have a fall event coming up, now is the time to call Jimbo and get your event on his calendar.  Whether it's a company party, church gathering or family get together, Jimbo can entertain the young and old alike.  

Special "Thanks" to everyone that included Jimbo at your Company Picnics, Family Reunions, Church Carnivals and of course, Birthday Parties last year.  Just remember, ANY event where children will be gathered, Jimbo can make it more FUN!

Please check out my "Jimbo's latest News" page for some important news.

Jimbo started his "Clowning" career in 1989 after 5 years of training at the Camp Hill Ground Round as "Bingo the Clown". Except for a30-month Military breakhe has been self-employed and one of this area's few "FULL TIME" clowns. He will entertain your group by creating balloon sculptures, playing games and singing songs.
The Birthday child will receive a special gift from Jimbo. Parties can include options such as Facepainting, Carnival style Spin-art pictures and even Sand-art.

Equally comfortable in you home Birthday party or larger commercial venues, Jimbo now offers three (3)  Birthday Party packages to fit any schedule or price range. Available options make your party truely unique. Commercial pricing is available for School, Church or any public event. 

SO, What about Coulrophobia?
(the Fear of Clowns)

Jimbo realizes that not everyone loves clowns. In any group of kids, there may be one or two that aren't sure about him at first. Is this Coulrophobia? probably not, but just the same, Jimbo will do his best to minimize the child's (or adult's) fear.

Jimbo will not approach any child that looks afraid, but will instead turn his attention to the other kids in hope that the child soon realizes for himself that Jimbo is not to be feared. With young parties, Jimbo will spend most of the party sitting on the floor, so as not to tower over the children. Later, Jimbo may try to engage the child with juggling balls or balloons. In many cases, most children just need some time to warm up to the stranger in their home.

Adults are different. Jimbo will simply avoid any contact understanding that Coulrophobia is a recognized phobia and there isn't much I can do to change a lifetime fear.
