Just Clowning Around of Northern Virginia (JCA) is a not for profit organization that provides clowns, face painters, and balloon twisters for other nonprofit organizations in Northern Virginia / Washington, DC area. JCA clowns are often available to help with non-profit, charitable, or volunteer organizations. They also like to appear in area parades and community events. If you represent a nonprofit organization and would like to have JCA clowns at your event, please contact JCA.
If you are a company or are planning a birthday party and are looking for clowns, we suggest you check the local phone book or search the Internet for area clowns.
Please Read These Guidelines / Rules Before Requesting A Clown Or Clowns!
Just Clowning Around has has a set of rules and guidelines we are bound to follow in determining whether or not an event meets our guidelines and can be accepted as an alley gig for Just Clowning Around of Northern Virginia (JCA). Please keep in mind your event must not be an event where other entertainers (magicians, DJ, band, etc.) have been hired and paid to entertain side by side with the clowns from JCA. The key word is "volunteer!" All our members are volunteers who donate their time and talent to help out with events. We cannot make any guarantees that we will have anyone available to do an event. We typically ONLY do events within a reasonable driving distance from Fairfax, VA.
Even if we agree that your event qualifies for support from JCA, we cannot guarantee that our members will be available to come to your event. If you must have the assurance or guarantee that someone will attend your event, you should make the decision to directly hire someone to attend. By hiring and paying for your event, this is the only way you will be guaranteed their participation.
While we do not perform alley gigs as paid entertainers, our organization is a 501-c non-profit organization, so we will gladly accept a donation for the alley for our operating account. The donation can be any amount that you choose. Donations are not a requirement for us to do your gig, but are always greatly appreciated. The regular rate in this area for an hour of entertainment is $100/hour or more. You should know that any donation to JCA will be put to good use as we will in turn donate 75% to a local charity of our choosing at the end of the year.
