Frequently Asked Questions
About Booking With Funny Business

How far in advance should I book?
For the top entertainers at Funny Business, we recommend booking a month or more in advance. For the Holidays (Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween) many clients book 4 - 6 months in advance. With less notice, your choices will be fewer.

What do I need to do to book a party or get a price quote?
Review the options, and when you find the perfect entertainer for your party, check their calendar. If the date is open, fill out an on-line request form. We will send you a price quote within 24-48 hours of receiving your request form. We need to know information like party location, number of children, etc. so that we may properly quote you. You will receive your quote via e-mail, and forms submitted Friday - Sunday will be answered no sooner than the following Monday.

The entertainer I like does not have a calendar. What can I do?
Some of our entertainers do not have on-line calendars or choose not to publish their calendar with us. Just fill out the general request form with your date and time. Before we reply to you we will call them and check availability for you. When we reply with our quote, they are available AT THAT TIME. Don't wait too long to book as we cannot guarantee availability until we receive your deposit.

Does Funny Business require a deposit?
Yes, and you can pay with any major credit card, a debit card, or PayPal. The amount is determined by the entertainment you want to book. The deposit is NOT refundable if the party is cancelled with less than 2 weeks notice. If a party is cancelled, we will keep a credit on our books to allow the party to be rescheduled within 6 months of the original date. If you book more than a month before the party date, you may pay the deposit with a check or money order.

How do you calculate the price?
Price is determined by the entertainment you choose, and the length of the party. With more children and more activities, the longer you need your entertainer at the party. If you are at the edges, or outside of the DFW area, a mileage fee may apply. Also, for outdoor parties during the heat of summer, there is a $25 surcharge. After sending your on-line request, Funny Business will reply with a quote for your party.

What is the Funny Business reputation?
Funny Business has provided entertainment to the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex longer than any other agency. We started in 1984, providing thousands and thousands of customers with wonderful memories. (We have the references to support this, too!) You can look at the on-line calendars to see how often our clowns work and in some cases for whom they are working. All our clowns have a criminal background check before they are booked for a children's party with Funny Business. We also require our clowns to carry professional liability insurance.

Many companies go the extra mile to make a sale; we go the extra mile AFTER we make the sale. How? Our customers receive the owner's cell phone in case you have any questions or problems after booking your party. Funny Business is the only agency in the DFW metroplex with a 4-step Performance Assurance process to make sure we never miss a party! The process uses our on-line calendars so the customer can be sure the party is booked for the right date and time. The next steps are a confirmation letter to you with all the party details, and the entertainer confirmation call before the party. The final, and fourth step, is to give you the owner's cell phone in case you encounter any problems on the day of your party. Funny Business is the only company in the industry with this 4-step Performance Assurance.
