Singing Telegrams

Singing Telegrams

A live, in-person Singing Telegram from Jusby the Clown is a joyful, surprising, and often emotional way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, promotion, apology, retirement, or any moment worth marking with song, humor, and a little theatrical magic.

Performances are available across Portland and along the I-5 corridor from Seattle to Eugene. Each visit lasts up to 20 minutes and includes a character entrance, one or two songs from a chosen category, light clowning, and photo moments.

Choose Your Character (12 Options)

Each character sets a different tone and connects with a different audience. All are built from costumes already in your repertoire.

  • Classic Clown – colorful, friendly, family-safe
  • White Tux Crooner – elegant, romantic, old-school charm
  • Tex Message – cowboy-corporate wit; perfect for offices
  • Chef Jusby – food puns, kitchen chaos, pie-forward humor
  • Mad Scientist – wild eccentric energy, theatrical gestures
  • Secret Agent – discreet entrance, envelope delivery, suave delivery
  • Lifeguard – summery celebration, beach vibes
  • Train Engineer / The Driver – Americana, folksy humor
  • Yabbit Howe – whimsical, eccentric, detective-rabbit charm
  • Seasonal White Suit – gentle, clean look for kids and families
  • Patriotic Crooner – red/white/blue formal flair
  • Lightly Spooky Clown – for fans of the weird (not for children)
