Cha Cha the Clown

Cha Cha the Clown shares some ideas for COAI Jr Joeys

A quick two minute video showing quick clips of some things that clowns can do to entertain in a silly clown show. This quick clip is called a sizzle reel. I am a volunteer for Clowns of America International and currently the COAI Director of Jr. Joeys (2018) helping to educate the next generation of clowns.

Hey clowns this is a fun way to share what you do which also puts us in a positive light in our communities. Keep working on your skills in a funny way!

…and to the community…don’t be afraid to hire professionally trained clowns to entertain children and families at your events. We professional clowns take the art of clowning seriously and our goal is to spread joy and laughter where ever we go.
