| Maggie the Magical Clown™ |
 |
Silly Maggie . . . only a clown would get confused by her own hat! |
Margaret Clauder is the most experienced, award winning clown Funny Business offers (since 1984). She can handle any type of entertainment and any age. From 1 year old birthdays to 10 year olds, to large corporate parties with adults only, to company picnics, she can do it. Her birthday magic show is hilarious with back-firing, one of a kind magic that leaves her audience rolling on the floor over how dumb a clown can be. Her bunny, Spot, always makes a surprise appearance (disguised as a white tiger.)
For very young children she has a variety puppet show featuring her excellent ventriloquism as Elmer the puppet messes up the Happy Birthday Song every way imaginable. Maggie paints beautiful faces, makes fabulous balloon sculptures, and has won top state and national awards for her work in both! She is the current president of Mid-Cities Clowns, former President of Happi Tymes Clowns, as well as a former clown school instructor. Margaret is a highly requested lecturer at entertainment conventions, and an author for international entertainment magazines.
Maggie the Magical Clown™ is an experienced stage performer, with several shows she can perform at your event. Her programs appeal to a wide age range, and they are full of surprise, laughter, and comical routines. Maggie is beloved by crowds, with the stage presence to give everyone in the audience the feeling that she is performing just for them. You may also want to have Maggie the Magical Clown™ as a walkaround entertainer at your event. She has developed several routines, such as the Funny Film camera, which bring the comedy directly to your guests. Your event will be livelier, you will hear more laughter, and you will get more praise when you add the magical Maggie element to your next function! For either shows, or walkaround, Maggie the Magical Clown™ has the skills to make you sparkle!
"I just want to THANK YOU so much for all you did Sunday! You guys were a huge hit! And thank you so much for EVERYTHING you did!! Without you guys my party would not have been so wonderful! You worked VERY hard and were absolutely WONDERFUL!! I am forever a client!! And a refferer! Thank you again and again AND AGAIN!!!!!!!! AND AGAIN!!!"

|
 |
Click to get closer to Hanky
and her froggy friend! |
Tricia is a former officer for Texas Mid Cities Clown Alley number #85. She is an accomplished puppeteer. Her voices with her puppets are hilarious! She writes her own original material that you will find no where else. She performs a wonderful show that involves clown magic, puppetry, and general silliness. She is a very accomplished balloon artist as well as face painter too. She is also a lovely person to know and very gentle and sweet with children. She performs as Jolly (out of make-up) for really young children who may be afraid of clown make-up. She stays very busy! On top of all that, Hanky the Clown was the Funny Business entertainer of the year for 2008, and the Texas Clown of the Year in 2007!
"The children and parents all enjoyed Hanky. She is excellent at what she does. We will book her again for future parties. Also, other people from the party took cards and said they were going to be booking as well!"

| Debbie aka Posie the Clown |
 |
Debbie has several different clown characters including a western clown and a nurse clown, but Posie is her most popular for children's parties. She has an adorable magic show which always includes her live bunny magically appearing. Posie has a trained dog (a Jack Russell Terrier) that can come with her. This adorable small dog performs numerous tricks like jumping through a hoop, playing dead, rolling over and more! He is great with children and kids (and adults) just love him! When Bebe (the performing dog's name) is not performing Posie can put him into his carrying crate while she performs magic, makes balloon animals, plays games or face paints! In addition to all this, Posie performs with puppets, and juggles scarves. Her years of experience make her superb in handling all types of audiences. Debbie has been clowning since 1986. A former President of Texas Mid-Cities Clown Alley #85, Debbie has mentored many other clowns in the DFW area.
Awards: Gold Medal for skit performance on stage at Circus Circus. Texas Clown Association 2nd place group skits. Funny Business Entertainer of the Year in 2004.

Sprinkles The Clown |
|
|
|
Follow along with Sprinkles.
There is a big photo , too!
|
Once in a great while there comes a clown who is a "natural born" clown. Sprinkles is that clown. Maggie the Magical Clown met Sprinkles at the Texas Mid Cities Clown Alley # 85 where Maggie serves as President. She was so impressed with Sprinkles from the beginning that Maggie decided that this clown would be mentored especially by Maggie, the owner of Funny Business. Maggie attends each clown school graduation ceremony and Sprinkles stood out from her entire graduating class like a diamond in a sea of coal.
Sprinkles has only been a clown for a little over a year, but she has so much on the ball it's as if she has been doing it 5 years or more! She has that special sparkle - that love for children that is so important in a clown. A mother of two girls, one of which dreams of clowning with her mom, she knows kids and kids are drawn to her.
She is working on her future comedy clown show. In the meantime she is honing her face painting and balloon twisting skills. Since she is new we price her a little lower than our experienced clowns - but watch out! At the Texas Clown Association Convention Sprinkles was asked to join Maggie and 2 other clowns in the parade competition. She won 2nd place! This girl is going places!
So if you want to have an adorable sweet clown at your party that twists balloons and paints darling faces, (as well as save a few dollars) - then give Sprinkles the Clown a try!
To book Sprinkles, check your date on her calendar, and if she's available, request Sprinkles for your birthday party!

"She managed to entertain all of the children, keeping them involved. My 1 year old "the birthday girl" could not stay away from her. We loved her!"
-- Alexia Silva
Have you ever met anyone who was naturally entertaining, funny, and charismatic? When you meet Dubble Bubble, you will! She is a gifted entertainer who has put years into perfecting her talent. First of all, she is incredibly likable. Crowds naturally gather around her, waiting for something funny. Susan never disappoints, keeping the audience laughing long and hard when she is entertaining. Second of all, she is great with puppets, marionettes, clown skits, and more!
Susan is the former President of Texas Mid-Cities Clown Alley #85 and the convention chair for the Texas Clown Association in 2001 & 2006. She won a top clown honor in the state in 2001 when she received the Ambassador of Clowning Award for her charitable work. She has volunteered hundreds of hours at Children's Hospital of Dallas and volunteers regularly for The Make A Wish Society. Susan is the UTA Clown School instructor and has taught dozens of clowns in the DFW area their art. She performs comedy magic, skits, balloon artistry, face painting, puppetry, and general buffoonery. She also has other characters to choose from for library and school shows.
Whether performing her birthday party show, entertaining with puppets, or offering balloons and face painting, audiences really like Dubble Bubble. Here are a couple more happy customers sharing their thoughts on a fabulous, funny clown!
"Everything was perfect. I would not change a thing!"
-- Zody Solis
"Even the kids that were a little leery about clowns fell in love with her and were very comfortable around her. She had everyone's attention from start to finish. The balloons were a great ending! She was fabulous!"

Kenneth aka Gator the Clown
|
Kenneth is an entertainer extraordinaire. He can do anything, and he does it all superbly! From juggling, to stilt walking, to balloon artistry, to face painting, to clowning and more! He is considered one of the top children and family entertainers in the REGION! He is what we in the industry call "An All Arounder" meaning he is perfect for a multi-hour event where he can switch from one activity to another.
He has dozens of wonderful and exotic stilt costumes including: Ten Foot tall cowboy, Genie, Basket Ball Player, German man, Uncle Sam on Stilts and more! He juggles while on stilts, tells jokes, and interacts with the crowd in a way that only a polished professional of his caliber can.

| Shelley - Fannie the Clown |
Shelley is a beautiful lady that performs Barbie, princesses such as Cinderella and Little Mermaid, fairies and Dorothy from Oz. For a birthday party she performs a magic show, twists animal balloons and/or face paints. Her face painting is quite extraordinary - some of the best in the DFW area. While face painting she lets the children make a beaded bracelet craft they are allowed to keep. We recommend her for girl parties of 12 or fewer children. If over 12 will be at the party, book her for 1 ½ hours to give her enough time for her lovely face painting.
In 2007, Shelley won the Funny Business Entertainer of the Year award!
