Flippo The Jugglin' Clown

Hi Everybody!
My name's Larry Rettig and I single-handedly hold down the business of Flippo the Jugglin' Clown (since 1989) and Flippo the Juggling Magician (since 2008). I developed the Juggling Magician character for 2 reasons. One was to better accommodate the Magician personna where I perform at Moe's Southwest Grill every Thursday evening in Shrewsbury, MA, and also at Moe's on every Tuesday evening (either in Worcester or Natick - see website) The other reason was to acknowledge the relatively new "scary" or "evil" clown image which has emerged. To me, this is nonsense and where it came from.....I'll never know? What I DO know is that kids flock to me like a magnet with or without the clown look, and anyone from my 22 years of experience will vouch for that! 95% of my clients hire me as Flippo the Jugglin' Clown.

The Newest and Most Creative Development of my 23-year entertaining career starts the week of February 13, 2012. I have devised a Jug-A-Log (based on the word "dialogue"); a messege conveyed through Juggling. The theme being Customer Service as it relates to customers, co-workers, and all of its ramifications. My new Gigmasters second half is that of Flippo the "Customer Service Motivational Juggler". No "Clowning Around" on this adventure! Look at my other Gigmaster page (with Video Clip) Also Look at the new page on my website, along with a descriptive "LIVE" video! TOTALLY UNIQUE! Note the 8 performances of this Incredible NEW Piece of Juggling Art taking place Feb. 14 - Feb. 17 throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island,....and it's JUST THE BEGINNING. Yes, I'm excited, however I'm in no hurry to "Hang Up My Red Nose" so tell your kids that Flippo The Jugglin' Clown is alive and well! LOL

Please notice my Gigmasters 5-STAR rating and please read my 37 Gigmaster reviews. This is what makes Gigmasters such a reputable company. The truth comes out from the customers and is revealed in the reviews. The poor ones ARE NOT OVERLOOKED. They are displayed equally. It just so happens that each and every one of my 37 reviews are of a very positive nature. That, in itself, is HUGE! These reviews, my 22 years of experience, my one-of-a-kind website along with my skills, which involve Top-Knotch Juggling (6 Balls, Clubs, Rings, Plungers,.....even a 10-Pin Bowling Ball along with 2 eggs!), Awesome Balloon Sculptures (75 detailed animals, Hearts with Teddy Bears or LoveBirds, Spiderman, Aliens, Flowers, 10 styles of Hats, Umbrellas, a 4-foot 747 Airplane,...almost anything!)and Incredible Magic for ALL ages allow me to provide the highest level of entertainment around Worcester County - for all types of Family and Corporate Events from Birthday Parties for ALL ages, School Shows, Grand Openings, Church Fairs, Festivals, Employee Appreciation Days,...ANYTHING! If you'd like to learn a little more about me, you are welcome to read the 2 Worcester Telegram and Gazette write-ups about me. They are both on the "About Flippo" page of my website. Also, on the "Clown School" page of my website notice the numerous Clowning Courses for Worcester and a beginner, as well as an intermediate Juggling Class entitled "Cardio"-Juggling and Stress Reduction in Marlboro. The Worcester Jewish Community Center has had me teach their Camp Habonim kids, ages 7-12, the Clowning Arts in a 2-week seminar every summer since 2004, as well as MANY other After-School or Summer Programs! I had a T.V. Commercial aired on Nickelodeon, ABC Family, and the Cartoon Network which you can see on my website. I've performed everywhere from the World Trade Center in Boston, to Mohegan Sun Casino, to First Night Worcester. I am an avid member of The Internaional Juggler's Association, Clowns of America, and the new World Juggling Federation.
I tailor my Juggling Antics and Magic accordingly for ALL ages ranging from pre-school (having performed at well over 100, 1-year old Birthday Parties) all the way up to adult. The entertainment I provide notoriously intrigues audiences of ALL ages and my extremely fun-loving nature is highly contagious! A great deal of my work is generated through "word of mouth". If one takes a chance on hiring me, they are NEVER disappointed, and it's a GUARANTEE! Not only do I pay the 5% booking fee (which is a minimum of $20) but I have a money back guarantee! Top quality does not come with the cheapest price tag, and it's not supposed to. Honestly I would be ashamed if I were to boast that I was the cheapest entertainer around. What would that really be saying? I think you can figure it out? I boast about being one of the best entertainers for all ages, and yes,....we do, naturally, get what we pay for.
If it's top quality entertainment and dependability that you are seeking, then I just might hear from Gigmasters regarding your event. If you wish to be involved in a bidding process and are therefore willing to settle for less, that is fine. My clientele are similiar to the 37 people in my Gigmaster reviews who TOOK the chance and found TOTAL SATISFACTION. You will too, or money back. As of 2011, I only work until 6:00 pm. (Some exceptions DO apply.)

As he made each balloon and made the kids laugh and entertained. Flippo arrived on time and stayed talking, joking, juggling for the full hour with nonstop fun. The piano skit was a riot, and the juggling incredible. Hihgly recommended. Thanks, Flippo! -- Judy A, Waltham, MA, 3/18/2011

• We had Flippo for a family party which included lot of kids from 3 years to 13 years. Less than 5 minutes into his show kids stuck to him and enjoyed a lot. The variety he has got is plenty be it baloons, face painting, magic, juggling etc. The last 30 minutes of magic and juggling was fantastic, everyone including kids glued and had fun. I highly reccommend Flippo for his energy, variety and especially his flexibility and personal attention to all kids. -- Jithendra P, Westborough, MA, 3/13/2010

• I must say I was a little nervous at first... but he sounded pretty convincing. He came on time, had all his accessories he did not ask for any accomodation from our end. At first a few kids were a little scared but after not even 10 minutes parents and kids were all smiling and laughing. He was absolutely appropriate for the targeted age group of children we had. But were charmed as well. We reviewed the mini video we took of his performance and we could not stop laughing watching him interacting with the kids. I highly recommended him, he is just delightful. -- Sophie A, Newton, MA, 1/31/2010

• Flippo (Larry) was very good at keeping in touch with me periodically before the party. He called me to explain how the hour would be laid out and asked if we had any special requests. We went over time and directions. Then he called me a few days before the party to confirm. Very professional! He arrived right on time even though he had a prior engagement. He engaged all of the children and adults in his performance. He was loved by both young and old!!! -- Lauren S, Westerly, RI, 4/18/2010
