Description of Services provided by Polkadots The Clown in New York City New York:
Clown / character (with clown insurance) available for childrens parties, singing telegrams, nursing homes, corporate, and special events. A former childhood education major, Polkadots and her other self (known as Susan) have had featured appearances on "The Charles Grodin Show", "CNN 7:00 News", VH1's "Sledgehammer", as well as various public access shows. She's also a 3 time winner of the "Henry Williams Comedy Show" as well as a couple of other comedy contests. Susan is a member of the "Society of American Magicians" and formerally served as secretary of the New York Clown Alley.

Polkadot's show starts out with her theme song "The PolkaDot Polka" followed by a dance with the guest of honor (if they want). Plate spinning takes over for a bit in which all the kids can participate. The rest of the show takes over with visual type magic, so young and old can appreciate it focusing on the guest of honor (if they want) on thier special day! Polkadot's show doesn"t stop at the magic. She keeps them entertained even when she's setting up or working a long line, engaging them in knock-knock jokes and other wackiness . She usually has a cute little puppet on hand to win over the scaredy cats. Says Polkadots..."I believe in paying as much (if not more) attention to the kids who are waiting, so impatience is pretty scarce". Her balloons include a wide variety of animals, shapes, hats, and sculptures (simple and complex). Her face painting is pretty extensive but simpler things can be done for the younger or more squeemish types. Her princess characters are pretty much the same format but without the platespinning and with differant soundtrack, dancing her way through the magic show, getting even the adults to believe in make believe!

She has been trained in magic and stage shows by Beth Bongar (a former clown of "Big Apple Circus"), she has had various courses in face painting and balloon sculpting by Guy Zuda of "King Henry Entertainment" and has taken comedy face painting and magic by various teachers from the N.J. Clown festival. Susan has also been quoted as saying "You can never stop learning this stuff as much as there are shapes characters and objects in this world there are faces to paint them as and balloons to sculpt them in". "I also like teaching myself every chance I get whether its by books, tapes or watching other clowns".Polkadots has a knack for dealing with the elderly and handicapped as well the healthy. she knows thier limits but at the same time can break through the most intense shells by using various schticks, pocket magic and balloon hats and just plain love and humor! When there's music playing you never know what wacky outrageous dance (tastefully done of course) Polka dots is gonna come up with!
