Our history
It’s time again for a party with Jimbo the Clown!
Jimbo has entertained children in the Steelton and Harrisburg areas for over 35 years, and he’s ready to bring the fun to you! Jimbo provides the best entertainment for children’s birthday parties with magic tricks, bouncy colorful animals, and of course, some crazy clowning around. Whether you need magic to add some mystery to your event or a goofy clown to bring some silliness to your child’s birthday party, Jimbo can make any event fun and exciting. Jimbo the Clown parties normally last one or two hours but he also offers a 30 minute “Lite” visit for when time is tight. Kids always go home with their own balloon hat. Jimbo can also provide spin-art or sand-art crafts necklaces, Jimbo Goody Bags or Jimbo Painter’s Hats. For children over ten years old, Jay Arthur the Balloon Artist can entertain instead of the Jimbo persona. You can call or email Jimbo the clown to discuss the details your child’s birthday party or event. Please check out my “Jimbo’s latest News” page for some important news.
