Zounds the Clown has been performing in central Iowa for more than a decade. You can find him in parades, events, school functions, and your event!
He does balloon animals and walkaround entertainment, such as juggling and magic tricks. Zounds is great for birthday parties!
Got a lot of kids coming? Zounds can bring three more balloon twisters with! Or two airbrush artists to do temporary tattoos!
Zounds the Clown is a beautiful balloon twister and artist and great wit.
The children came for the monkeys, flowers and play swords he fashioned for them, the teens came for balloons AND the witty responses he had and the parents came for all the fun.
He helped make our parish picnic a completely joyous event. Thank you and we hope to see you again next year.
Zounds team is great to work with! Very accommodating. We will work with them again. Thank you for being part of our event.
They were amazing to work with. Awesome
Communication. Would love to have them again for another event!
Zounds was a great addition to our event. He kept the crowd involved from young to older. The kids loved him. There is talk of hiring him for the Tama County Fair next year. Several comments on a great performance. Thank You
I booked this entertainment for a fundraising event and everyone enjoyed the balloon twisting and the glitter tattoos! Thanks for making sure I got a tattoo before the event was over, too!!!
He’s been to our childcare center several times and never disappoints! The kids and staff all have fun at his shows! We’ve asked him to return to end our summer program too!
Great clown for your event
We had 80 kids ages 5 through 12 years and he kept them intertwined for an entire hour! This is the second time we’ve hired him and we will definitely hire him again!
Zounds was AMAZING, he was so good with not only the littles but teenagers and adults. He did exactly what I had asked and I had many compliments about how much fun he made our Graduation party. Highly highly recommended!!!!
Zounds the Clown was so AMAZING!!! He was so great with the kids at our event. Kids were able to get multiple balloons. He told jokes and made funny sounds to keep the kids engaged with him while making their balloon. We will definitely have him back again. Also, thanks for helping out with our NFM tent too! Much appreciated.
We have never had any sort of child's entertainment at our kids birthday parties but it was a great decision to! He kept about 8 kids ranging from 1 to 11 years old entertained the entire time. Making sure to include them all and make our bday girl feel special. He even kept all the adults entertained and cracking up. We got told multiple times how good it was and a great idea to book!
Had a party for a group of friends. The balloon creations were great. One parent let me know that their son went to sleep that night talking about his balloon alligator. Great to work with.
We couldn't have asked for more. Zounds responded right away to our last minute request. He was on time and had a crowd of kids and adults the entire time. He was fabulous!
Zounds was wonderful! Huge hit at our party!!
The kids had a blast and were entertained for hours!
Zounds the Clown is excellent at making balloon animals and objects! He is entertaining and always brings smiles and giggles to children and adults! We have had him a part of several of our community events, and we will continue to have him. He is the best of the best!
Response from Zounds the Clown:
Aw! Thanks, Afton. I love coming to your town, and will happily return for all your events.
He did the best job in twisting the balloons for all guests at my daughter's birthday party, and kept them all well entertained.
Zounds the Clown is AMAZING! Kids flock to him, and they love his creations. He is entertaining, goofy, fun, a big kid himself with the heart of gold, and a great balloon artist! He always knows how to put a smile on the kids and their folks' faces. He is by far the BEST in this industry, and we will always keep having him until the day he retires. We love him and would recommend him to anyone!
Thanks for coming! You were fantastic. I will spread the word if I run across anybody looking for clown!
Response from Zounds the Clown:
Thanks, Marcy! I had a lot of fun. And the kids and residents did too.
Zounds was fantastic and had a great show and had all the kids entertained. It was a great block party
Zounds came to our annual festival and did a wonderful job. He put smiles on the kids faces, entertained them with animal noises and made amazing balloon creations.
Thanks again,
Melcher Dallas Coal Miners
Zounds and his wife were great! The kids loved them and even adults!
All the kids was so excited.
Zounds the clown was great and despite the heat was a great performer, the kids loved him every minute.
Not only did he do the balloons he, continued to entertain by walking around doing small "tricks". Our party was all ages and everyone enjoyed him thoroughly! Thank you for connecting us!
We hired zounds for my sons first birthday party and everyone loved him. The kids (and adults) were entertained the whole time. I would definitely recommend him.
We hired Zounds for our son's birthday party. Zounds provided great story, juggling, and magic. All the kids absolutely loved him! They are so excited about the the balloon animals. I highly recommend him for his great work and affordable price.
Had kids from 2 1/2 to 7 years old. He kept attention of the kids. They loved the balloons, stories aND magic. The adults all loved it . My 80 year old grandma loved it!! He came looking as santa which was perfect , two kid's thought he was. I will definitely use him again and price very responsible!
We had Santa Dan in for our Employee & Family Breakfast and it was a hit mainly do to him. He was great with the kids. He read Twas the Night Before Christmas and followed up with a sing along to Rudulph the Red Nosed Reindeer. We would hire him again.
We hired Zounds and Lady Bloo for our daughter's carnival party. We couldn't have been more pleased. The kids absolutely loved the balloon animals and having their faces painted. Zounds provided awesome storytelling, juggling, magic to provide a seamless transition from games to food. I highly recommend them. Very easy to work with and very affordable.
My non-profit organization has booked Zounds the Clown on two separate occasions as entertainment for our yearly fundraising walk. Each year, prior to the walk, Zounds gave us options for activities he could lead, and we picked what we thought would work best for us. We had an abundance of young children in attendance and Zounds engaged them each in their own unique way.
Not only is Zounds energetic, positive, warm and silly with children and adults alike, he also helped make our event picture taking fun, as well as getting the attention of our very large group whenever speakers needed it. We will definitely utilize Zounds for future events.
I'm very impressed with Zounds the Clown - he is a true professional and his love for clowning honestly shows in his work. Do not hesitate to make him a part of your next adventure!
Zounds performs and makes balloon animals at our back to school carnival and he does such a wonderful job with the kids. He goes above and beyond to make sure all the kids have a great time. Highly recommended!!
