“Unexpectedly walking up on clown camp made three elderly ladies (91, 83, and 82) thrilled today….and I hope the kids could feel that joy. Thank you for sharing your happy campers!“
We looked forward with great anticipation to being overrun by new clowns for the FREE & All-Ages Wednesday.
At least Juliette showed up.
Education reporter, Lisa Pemberton & photographer Tony Overman of the Olympian asked lots of questions and took lots of pictures for the Beyond the Classroom summer series. It’ll be in Monday’s paper and online at http://www.theolympian.com/education/

packing up camp for the day, 2 girls shouted they were scared of clowns… oh, wait, are you Jusby the Clown? [then did happy clappy dance] @jusbytheclown on Twitter
For Kai’s 11th birthday at the Circle Hawk Farm house on the 11th with approximately 11 guests…
a highly interactive mini-clown camp from 1 – 3 PM, a microcosm of the week-long camp in July: juggling/ object manipulation lesson, balloon twisting lesson, joke telling lesson, laughter yoga session w/ Trish & Orion, & pies in the faces… in the theme of Lego Star Wars meets Old MacDonald.
For this party, I realized where the advice of other clowns was leading me astray from my natural instinct. It’s been ‘common knowledge’ among party clowns that the clown’s role is over when the cake arrives. No one wants to compete with the cake and presents. I’ve been making my exit as mom takes over and everyone gets their sugar buzz on.
During the discussions with Kai’s mom, however, I followed my own inclination and offered:
Presenting the cake by Clowns!
Lighting the candles by Clowns!
Singing the birthday song by Clowns!
Slicing and serving the cake by Clowns!
Delivering the presents by Clowns!
Thanking the gift-givers by Clowns!
A comprehensive multi-hour, multi-clown party package that everyone would be sure to remember!
“I hired Justin to manage the entertainment at my son’s 11th birthday party. The entire class was invited, and I wasn’t sure how to keep a dozen pre-teenagers (boys and girls) adequately and appropriately entertained. The results were nothing short of spectacular. “Jusby” and his team of clowns engaged the kids by first leading them in an icebreaker Laughter Yoga session. He came prepared with lots of different activities, but the two that the kids went absolutely ga-ga over were the face painting and the pies. I’ve never seen kids line up so enthusiastically to get a pie in the face. Additionally, several of the parents opted to be pied as well. Everyone was laughing hysterically and very happy. As an added bonus, Jusby and his team handled the cake presentation and serving (clowns serving cake!) and the unwrapping of gifts (hilarious). BUT THAT’S NOT ALL – Jusby also provided me with beautiful online photos of the event (he’s a terrific photographer). Would I hire him again? In a New York minute. He will give you every dime’s worth of your money and then some. He’s also great with all ages, from little kids to adults. Highly recommend -

I just found out that Sprout made the paper on again on National Train Day!

“My services have undergone expansions, improvements and tweaks. This includes an additional clown retinue,” began the conversation that led to 2011′s Purim Extraordinaire, a few notches above last year’s “Special Visit” which concluded with 10 pied faces. Although I pied a few additional faces this year, I also brought a few additional clowns along, so the energy was significantly higher.
To the Romans it was Cobbler Rasa, the French referred to it as La Tarte Blanche, aboriginal clowns called it Entering the Creamtime, and of course the ancient Qabbalah clowns spoke of soulful and doleful schmaltz by the bowlful

A client recently had me come for a 6 y/o boy’s GI Joe themed birthday party.
I went with the basic black topped with Grampa Del’s garrison cap, accented with a camouflaged belt from a long gone bathrobe. For extra fancy, I added the spats that came from Puck F.
On the way, I noticed someone had pranked a car in the OHS parking lot. I left them my card in case they wanted to get even.
Afterwards, I pied a bonus face back home. AJ had been visiting and took a large pie to the face.
The videos tell about the Magic Kombucha grenade fail.
Before going to Treypac’s party, I consented to an interview with Reid. He’s an Evergreen student doing a documentary on humor. I also referred him to comedian, Jeff Black.

Another opportunity for the clown’s son to demonstrate proper pie-getting form. Hey, what happened to the money shot?! Pied party goer. The Brand New Jay Leno Sized Pie (Costco 12″ diameter) about to be inaugurated. That’s the one! Held 4 regular tubs of whipped cream. The Birthday Boy!
Just returned from JFK HS in Burien where I delivered a special Happy Fiftieth Birthday Telegram to a teacher on behalf of his brothers. They also wanted him to know “Bears Suck, Packers Rule“.

We appreciated the support and generosity we were shown by the Olympia Film Festival. It was an honor to be included in the street carnivale with the Artesian Rumble Arkestra, Illuminated Procession and fortune telling robot.

"Jusby takes clowning seriously. Can I say that? He is great and gentle with kids, holding their attention and keeping them entertained, and is silly and irreverent, but respectfully so, with adults. He adds life and joy to any party. And if getting a pie in the face is on your list of things to try at least once in your life —c'mon, life is short—, then he's your clown. So go ahead and call him already.”

About Jusby
“I hired Jusby to clown for me during one of my music shows. He was spontaneous and flexible in how he performed with me and the crowd loved him. Jusby is a very organized, kind, and on time clown. I recommend him for any and all sorts of parties!”
-Chris Sand, Sandman the Rappin' Cowboy
“My wife and I have had the joy if seeing Jusby the Clown perform on two separate occasions. Once at a nonprofit organization fundraising event, and he was excellent! His jokes were funny and appropriate; his presence was enjoyed by all. The second event we saw Jusby at was at a birthday party for an adult, but all of the children there were ecstatic to see a clown. He made the birthday girl feel special, yet was attentive to all the children and the other guests as well. He performed for the crowd and made balloon animals for the kids. There was even the classic 'pie in the face' that got the adults and kids even more hysterical with laughter. We highly recommend Jusby for any event where an adorable clown can make all the people happy.”
