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.

• Yabbit Howe – whimsical, eccentric, detective charm
• Seasonal White Suit – gentle, clean look for kids and families
• Patriotic Crooner – red/white/blue formal flair
