DISCOVERCreate a party clown app
Party clown app: parents book the show, tell you the kids' ages, and you keep time to drive between parties
Parents pick the package, book the Saturday that suits them and tell you the kids' ages: on party day, you show up with the right show for them.
Without coding, bring your clown act to phones, iOS and Android alike, and to the web: birthday shows booked in your Saturday and Sunday time ranges, packages in photos and video, quotes for schools and companies.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
Parents book the show from their phone
The package, the time slot, then four questions about the party
Each booking section offers a single slot length, so your two packages take two sections: "Show, 1 hour" and "Show and balloons, 90 minutes". The parent opens one, picks a free slot and answers: whose birthday it is and how old they're turning, how many kids are invited, the address, and which room you'll perform in. A confirmation email goes to the parent and to you; the show is added to your Google Calendar, address in the description. Both sections write to the same calendar: if a parent takes 2:30 pm in the long package, the 2:30 pm slot of the short one disappears too.
Saturdays in three time ranges, Sunday afternoons
The gap between two time ranges is your driving time
There is no buffer time between two bookings: your time ranges are what keep the road clear. Count one hour per slot, 45 minutes of show and a quarter hour to set up and pack, and open Saturdays 10 to 11 am, 2:30 to 3:30 pm and 5 to 6 pm: each range holds just one show, with at least an hour to drive from one to the next. On Sundays, only the afternoon opens, 1 to 2 pm and 3:30 to 4:30 pm. Vacations and festival weekends get blocked in advance as exceptional closures, and a 72-hour minimum notice leaves room to work the birthday child's name into your song.
The birthday at home
Saturday, 2:30 pm: Leo is turning 6 and has eleven friends over in the living room. His mom booked the long package three weeks earlier, noting the guests' ages and the space cleared between the couch and the table. You arrive with the show for little ones, and every child leaves with a balloon animal.
The school fair
The principal wants three 30-minute sets, one per kindergarten class, on the day of the end-of-year fair. An afternoon split in three doesn't fit in a slot: she fills in the request Form with the date, the number of classes, the ages and "playground or gym", and you answer with a quote.
A company holiday party
A company's HR team wants you on the Saturday before Christmas, 2 to 5 pm, for sixty employees' kids. Their request comes in through the Form; as soon as your quote is accepted, you add the whole day to your Google Calendar. All your slots that Saturday then leave the app: no parent can squeeze a birthday in.
Your packages, shown to parents
The show
45 minutes of clowning, magic and songs, in a version for ages 3 to 5 and one for 6 to 10; the page shows both, in photos and video.
Balloon animals
One balloon sculpture per child after the show, from a sword to a poodle; the page says how much time to add for fifteen guests.
Face painting
Every design in a photo, from butterfly to pirate, the age you start painting at, and the question to ask parents if a child has sensitive skin.
The juggling workshop
Scarves, balls and spinning plates for older kids, who give it a try after the show; a longer package, booked in a section of its own.
Getting the party ready
Where to seat the kids facing you, how much space to keep clear, when to bring out the cake: the page parents read the day before.

Birthday party clowns: what we get asked
How do I leave driving time between two birthday parties?
Leave gaps between the day's time ranges, since no setting adds a break between two bookings. Playing at 10 am in town and at 2:30 pm at the far end of the county? Leave 11 am to 2:30 pm out of your ranges. Each day has its own ranges: widen the gaps on Saturdays, when you drive farther, and tighten them on Sundays, if you stay close to home.
A show for 3-year-olds isn't a show for 8-year-olds: how do I know in advance?
Make two booking form fields required: the birthday child's age and the youngest guest's age. Both ages appear in the email that confirms the booking, and in the show's description in your Google Calendar. This form serves all your sections: ask what matters for every package, not just one.
A school wants three hours of entertainment: booking or quote?
Quote. A slot is one show, not an afternoon of back-to-back sets. Create a "Schools and companies" Form with checkboxes (playground, gym, classroom), a drop-down for the number of classes and a field for the schedule: each request triggers an email, and every one of them stays in the back office. Once the date is confirmed, put it in your Google Calendar.
Can parents pay or leave a deposit when they book?
No. The app handles neither the price of the show nor a deposit: booking involves no money at all. Parents pay you as usual, on the day of the party or before, on your terms. They see no price when choosing a slot: put your prices and what happens if they cancel on each package's page, which they read first.
A parent cancels the day before the party: is my Saturday lost?
The parent cancels in the app, or with one click in the email they got when booking; an email lets you know, and the show leaves your Google Calendar. The slot is free again, but the minimum notice applies: set to 72 hours, it stops another parent from taking it that late, so the Saturday stays empty unless you fill it by phone. When the cancellation comes from you, a sore throat or a car breakdown, the parent gets an email in turn.
Can I show photos of my shows?
Yes, in a photo gallery or on video: parents get a feel for the show before booking. For pictures of children, get the parents' written consent, in line with the rules of your country, or pick photos where no face can be recognized: kids seen from behind, your balloon animals, a close-up of face paint.
Does the app remind parents the day before the party?
No, there's no automatic reminder. When they booked, parents got an email with the date, the time and their answers to the form. You can schedule a push notification, but it goes to all your users or to a group, not to one parent: for a quick word the day before the party, your phone is still the simplest way.
Extension Store
Each package length has its own booking section; the extension behind them, Appointment booking, costs extra on Premium and is built into Pro. Schools and companies go through the Form; CMS Articles and CMS Videos show your packages; the contact page puts your number one tap away from parents; a push notification announces a Saturday that opens up.
