About 2clowns.com

2clowns.com has provided award-winning family entertainment for Michigan, Ohio, and beyond since 1989. We have 38 awards between us for balloon twisting, face painting, clowning and business practices. We have regular appearances at restaurant family nights, and can be seen face painting at events for the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, and Detroit Red Wings.

 

We love what we do!    While many parties only need one entertainer, for larger events, we can easily provide more.

 

We want to make your event memorable and fun. Our experience with special populations is extensive.  We gladly perform “in clown” or not, and excel at  “converting the cautious” among your guests.

 

For holiday events, we are also close friends with a particular bearded man in red and his wife, and a certain very large bunny.

 

As parents ourselves and homeschoolers as well, we understand that children have different interests and needs.   Our shows are crafted to appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. We encourage children of all ages to feel confident and comfortable at our events. 

 

If, due to heavy demand, both Derby and Lovely are booked elsewhere, 2clowns.com has many friendly and funny friends to help out!

 

Contact us at the link at the top of the page.  We get asked to perform all over Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, etc., and we would need to quote a price to your specific event.

"I just wanted to take a few minutes and say thank you for a job well

done. For the last 2 years we have used your services for our yearly party and I must say that the children and the adults absolutely love it. You not only make balloon animals and do lovely face paintings but you entertain the children and allow the adults to sit back and enjoy / watch what is going on. The way I know that a job is well done is when I see the children smiling, laughing and running around with excitement showing off their lovely face paintings. Thanks again for a job well done and I hope to see you next year, and feel free to bring your little clowns with you to our next family party."

By their comments during and AFTER the party, they ALL had a blast!  Thank you, thank you for your very "giving" contribution!  Very sincerely (Til next time!!) 

Kim and David Anderzak

 

"Dear Mrs. Lovely, just a quick message to thank you for the great job on Saturday at Robert's birthday party.  You were awesome.  I have dealt with other clowns in our business, but no one can compare to you.  You handled the children and did all their faces and the rabbit was awesome.  I had a great response from all the relatives.  Thank you!"

"Thank you, for your participation at the Founder’s Day Festival, Art on the Grand.  My daughter talked about you for the whole week leading up to the event.  She loves your ability to paint the WHOLE face, and the fact that mom lets her get it done.  I also appreciated the fact that you were willing to share the information about clowning, face painting, and where to get supplies.  It up the great work, it does look easy, but I realize it takes a lot of work and talent and you and your spouse have it.  Keep it up, and let me encourage you too…to Keep pressing on for Jesus…He definitely blesses.  Thanks again."

Hermanoff and Associates & the McDonald's Regional Office

 

"Just a quick note to let you know how great Felicia was this past weekend at Julia's Birthday Party. She was running a little late, but really made up for it once she arrived. The children thoroughly enjoyed their Animal Faces and she took the extra time to make sure every child got what they wanted before she left. Julia's face got smudged while she was there and Felicia went ahead and did a second face for her - WOW!   Several parents who attended the party took business cards. I hope you get some extra calls. Thanks again! =-)"   

Alicia Renner, Director of Marketing, Little Caesars

"A BIG THANK YOU!  Hats off to you.  You were dynamite....in providing an atmosphere of enjoyment and fun, you demonstrated expert preparation and organization.  It's a tribute to your talents as professionals that the Jubilee received so many coups doux this year.  Thanks to the way you set up, the way you please your audience, the way you adjust to them and court them, the Jubilee was easy and just too wonderfully smooth.  I loved it all!  Thank you for being you and thank you so much for working with us... Again I was thrilled that you were with us this year and I look forward to your performing with us again.   I sincerely wish you a happy new year and thank you for the way you helped us all bring in the new year.  Applause, applause."  

Jayne Hass, Entertainment Coordinator, New Year Jubilee

 

"Lovely was great.  We had about 20 kids at our party and she was a real trooper.  To be able to entertain that many kids and keep their attention at all times was excellent.  The face painting was amazing1  The time Lovely took on each child was great.  You didn't rush and was still able to get all the kids done in a timely fashion.  I had several adults comment on the full face paintings, saying that they have hired clowns and never seen the full face painted, maybe a couple of things put on the face.  The magic was also super.  I think the adults liked that part as much as the kids did. Everyone at our party was saying what a great job Lovely did and I hope to have you again at my son's party in May!  Thank you."  

Heather Schoppert

 

"The kids loved your act and so did the teachers.  You did a great job!  They loved it!  I can't thank you enough."

Sarah Atteveld

 

"Just a note to thank you again for making my daughter, Sarah's birthday party so memorable.  This morning, the first thing she asked when she woke up was if she can have you come to her next birthday party!  Everyone (including the adults) enjoyed the magic show, the balloon sculpting, and seeing Bumper - and of course the face painting, which my mother-in-law was, I think, just as excited to get her face painted as the kids were!  We truly appreciate the special attention and focus you gave to Sarah the entire time you were there, making her feel that it was her special day... not to mention your patience with my 2 year old nephew who tended to explore the magic crayons while you were busy doing other things... and you generosity of 'quickly' making him another balloon airplane because he was crying!  Thank you so much - we loved having you and our party wouldn't have been the same!!!!  I don't think we could thank you enough!!!"
