Our mission statement:  Provide the highest quality, dependable, worry free entertainment and memories to last a lifetime!

Margaret Clauder is the owner and founder of Funny Business.  She started as a professional clown in 1984.  After having graduated from clown school and performing for thousands of children, Margaret formed Funny Business, an entertainment agency dedicated to high quality, dependable, worry free entertainment.  Margaret, a mother of two, can remember in detail her own 4th birthday party.  “It was not a wonderful party like most children dream of.  It was horrible.  I remember being in tears over all the strangers and my mother put me to bed.  When I woke up the guests had eaten all of my cake and I saw no presents. It’s funny, but kids remember the best times in their life and the worst times.  I want parties to always be the best times.”  Margaret’s own children, now grown, remember their birthday parties when they were as young as age 3.  “My parties were always the envy of the other kids at school Mom” says John, now a college graduate.

Margaret decided when she became an entertainer she would always give children the parties of their dreams.  Through hard work, many hours of practice and study, she became an award winning clown who is now known nation wide.  In fact, Margaret is a featured lecturer and columnist for entertainer magazines distributed around the world.  Through her association with various entertainment organizations both locally and throughout the USA, Margaret has met many other top-notch performers like herself.  She has taken the cream of the crop of clowns, face painters, balloon entertainers, magicians, puppeteers, and storytellers and assembled them into a tight knit family-friendly company – a full service entertainment company called Funny Business. 

Funny Business started as a birthday party company, but now they are much, much, more.  We have handled events as large as 20,000 people, such as the City of Dallas Holiday Wish Celebration in 2004.  We provided all the children’s entertainment for that event!  Our list of happy customers looks like a who’s who in our industry. You can find out all about our customers by visiting the Clients page at the Funny Business web site!
