Cambo the Clown! * Juggling * Clown Magic * A Little Music * Lots of Nonsense * Interactive fun * Balloon Animals Galore I've been clowning as Cambo the Clown in the Bluegrass of Kentucky and beyond for 35 years. I trained at Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, and studied clowning, improvisational comedy and acting with various teachers. I offer shows and walk-around – whatever works best for your event. I've entertained at countless birthday parties, family reunions, company picnics, street festivals, holiday parties, and school carnivals. I've also provided reward-entertainment for school children that have achieved good academic and attendance records. Libraries across Kentucky have had me do shows for their Summer Reading Programs. I'm also part of a program that brings me each year for a series of visits to the Kentucky Children's Hospital in Lexington, KY. My show and walk-around includes juggling (balls, Chinese rhythm sticks, and large plastic baseball bats) mixed with funny business, clown magic (doesn't work quite the way the clown thinks it should), a little music (pan-pipes and harmonica) and lots of nonsense and interactive fun. And, of course, there are the balloon animals. Lots of them! At the end of a birthday party show I make a big, elaborate birthday balloon hat for the birthday child before making all of the kids balloon animals. This is when the kids get to do the ever popular Balloon Dance. For some events I will be making lots and lots of balloon animals while keeping things lively with my clown antics. I'm also available to do balloon twisting as a non-clown. Still colorful, but not a clown. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CAMBO THE CLOWN: "As always you did a terrific job with our residents but most importantly the kids. They loved the balloon animals and show that you put on – that was very evident by the continuous line over the three hour period. Before the event was even over we had parents and kids asking when you would be back." –Mark Stringer, President, Pinnacle Homeowners Association "Cambo is hilariously funny and entertaining for kids and adults. It was a great show! We will have him back." –Ari Fitts, Youth Services Librarian, Madison County Public Libraries "I have been booking Cambo the Clown for over 9 years. He is absolutely one of my favorite performers and is definitely a crowd favorite too." –Amber Luallen, Cultural Arts Director, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government "It is Wonderful to have Cambo entertain the children in the hospital. His magic is contagious." –Judi Martin, CCLS, Child & Family Life Coordinator, Kentucky Children's Hospital "He was excellent! He kept in contact prior to the date with fast responses and ideas. He showed up early and stayed 20 minutes more than agreed just because he didn't leave the kids hanging and was even headed to another gig. Bless him. He is super talented and put on a great show! We had 17 kids and 8 adults in one small room and he couldn't have done better with his tricks and talent. The kids adored him and adults laughed repeatedly. He gave the birthday girl a sweet little gift and made balloons for every kid here!! My daughter already misses him and our older daughter wants him for HER party! He'll be back!" –Andrea Lawson, Mom in Lexington 'Tis the season for Santa Claus!! Over 25 years as Santa. Lots of energy and fun! Unhurried chats with kids. Reading of The Night Before Christmas, candy canes & more! My Santa experience includes visits to private home parties, commercial settings, neighborhood association events, company holiday parties, daycares, and more.

FestivalReviewed on May 31, 2019From Pineville, KY

We recently hired Cambo for a local festival and parade. He is an outstanding entertainer and very genuine performer. Our crowds really enjoyed his balloon making skills and antics. After the festival, I had several people asking about how to book Cambo for future events and parties. I highly recommend Cambo to anyone! He really enjoys entertaining people and it shows through his extremely positive attitude!

CelebrationReviewed on December 5, 2018From Georgetown, KY

SANTA WAS AMAZING! He was attentive with each and every person, not just the children! He took the time to make each kid feel special, even as the crowd grew and grew. He was in character from the moment he opened the door, until he got in his turquoise Ford Focus and drove away. He was jolly, kind, and just wanted to please and make the event special. Two thumbs and two big toes up! We will definitely use him again.

Cambo the Clown:

Wow! Thank you, Lori, for your kind words. What a great event you all had! It was a true pleasure to be part of it.
