Rusty The Clown - clown for kids parties in Gold Coast

Rusty The Clown (Gold Coast)5.0 (2)

Birthday parties get a mix of tricks, juggling and interactive comedy from a costumed Gold Coast children's performer.

What to Know Before Hiring a Clown

A children's clown is really a one-person party team. Rather than a single trick, a good one strings together comedy, magic, puppets, balloons and face paint, so children never have long to wait for the next thing.

The ages coming matter most. Some toddlers find a painted face and a big costume a bit much, while nine-year-olds want jokes that do not treat them like babies.

What to ask a clown before you book the party:

Age range: this kind of act can work from toddlers to tweens, but ask how the show changes as they get older
Running order: how much is seated show, how much is hands-on, and when the balloons come out
Costume: if there is a shy child in the group, ask about a gentle introduction, or arrive in costume where they can see it go on
Length: long enough to fill the gap between arrivals and food, without running into cake time
Quote: clowns tend to price by the party, so give the date, suburb and number of children

Prefer no costume at all? A children's magician or general kids' entertainer offers similar fun in a less theatrical way.

Foreshore parks along the Broadwater give you shelter from the surf and room to run, but check the rules for any public space
A backyard in Robina or Nerang keeps things easy, with a toilet and power close by
A hall or surf club room is an easy way to avoid the summer storm risk altogether
Sit children out of direct sun: a humid afternoon in full glare will shorten every attention span
School-holiday parks along the beach strip fill up, so a quieter spot inland can be easier to manage

Getting the most from the visit

Have the birthday child sit near the front, and ask the clown to include them in a trick
Keep food away until the show is done, otherwise the group splits
Ask parents to stay nearby, since younger guests settle better with a familiar adult in view
Give the performer the names of the birthday child and any siblings beforehand

Details to settle first

Which of the coastal areas they cover, and how they treat a hinterland address
What paints they use for face painting, and how to flag sensitive skin
How much setup time they need, and whether they want music or power
What happens if a storm cancels a park party on the day

Questions About Booking Clowns

Will a clown frighten younger kids at a Gold Coast party?

Some little ones are wary at first. Tell the performer about any nervous children, keep a parent close by, and let them watch from a little way back until they warm up.

What does a kids' clown do during a party?

Expect comedy, magic and puppets, often with balloon twisting and face painting worked in. Ask for the running order, so you can plan food and cake around it.

Could we hold a clown party in a park near the Broadwater?

Yes, and the sheltered foreshore suits it. Look for shade, check any local rules for parties in the park, and have a covered fallback in the storm months.

How much notice should I give a clown for a school-holiday party?

Ask as soon as your date is settled, since school holidays are a peak time on the coast. A weekday party during the holidays can offer more choice than a Saturday.

Are clowns good for older kids around ten or eleven?

They can be, if the humour and magic are pitched higher than a toddler show. Ask how they handle tweens, or consider a more straightforward magic act for that group.
