Send in the Clown

Kids of all ages love the circus—the animals from exotic lands, the excitement of the midway, and those hilarious, bumbling, fumbling clowns. So if you’re thinking about throwing a circus-themed birthday party, bring the best of the circus home with Scruffles the Clown.

Scruffles the Clown is the most amazing balloon-twisting entertainer west of the Rockies. With 18 years of balloon-twisting experience, if you can imagine it, he can create it. Although he is happy to make those lovable wiener dogs or balloon swords, allow his true genius to sparkle by asking him to whip up a Harley Davidson your child can perch on, complete with a balloon helmet and goggles (safety first, of course).

For princesses-in-training, Scruffles can fashion a stupendous crown with a flower-topped sceptre that will make her feel like royalty.

For future astronauts, Scruffles can create space suits complete with jet-powered backpacks and laser blasters to hunt down intergalactic bad guys.

Mini skateboards zooming inside twisted balloon race tracks and flashing whirly-gigs will keep partygoers busy while Scruffles makes balloon magic for each of your guests, but most kids (and parents) will be fully mesmerized watching him inflate, twist, pop and produce something totally out of this world. Want a life-size palm tree with an adorable monkey hanging from it? No problem!

At cake time, Scruffles will also sing a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday complete with big band accompaniment and set off a confetti cannon (if Mom okays it).

Some younger children are afraid of clowns in whiteface, so Scruffles is happy to attend parties without face paint—or as a pirate (or even as Santa). His gentle nature and inexhaustible supply of knock-knock jokes makes him a hit with kids of all ages.

Scruffles is no joke. Half of his clients are over five-feet tall, so whether you’re planning a birthday party for a 4 or 40-year old, be sure to give this clown a call. Tested by Nancy C., Vancouver
