A volunteer clown duo to spread some joy to folks who really need it? I’d love to hear from you! Maybe I’m not quite what you’re looking for? I’ll do my best to find someone who is — I’m a great connector and I love making good things happen for good people. Please use my contact form to inquire about current availability.
