Clown School
"Being a clown is the best decision I ever made. I get to spend time serving children and the community and get paid to do it." - Hanna Banana
- Learn to play at Circus Circus
in Reno, NV! - A great part-time career!
- Earn in 2 days what many people earn in a week!
Make the world a better place and earn $80-$200 per hour providing entertainment for the children in your area. Earn $50-$200 or more per party, company parties can be even more - up to $600! There are many people who are willing to train a clown and then take half of your pay and leave you with no protection should the worst occur. We are giving you One Year Liability Insurance with your cost of Clown School. This sets apart the amateurs and the professionals.
Our clown school is a great opportunity for young and old. It is a great job for retirees! You never have to worry about injury from falls and other silly antics of traditional clowns. We don't teach the Bunny Hop or the Hokey Pokey, or expect you to take a pie in the face or force you to be a Hobo Clown and waste your time. This is what our competitors are teaching. This is a great opportunity to start a career as a new style clown that will put you ahead of any competition from traditional clowns.
