West Suburban Clown Club is an organization serving professional and amateur clowns and related entertainers in the Chicago Illinois area.
West Suburban Clown Club meets 7-9pm on the second Monday of every month in the lower level of the Meadowbrook Nursing Home, 339 9th Avenue, LaGrange IL. Participants should come to the rear entrance of the building, then ring the intercom buzzer to announce yourself for entrance; from there proceed down one level then look around or ask. Each meeting has an intermission and may run late but starts on time. Restrooms and refreshments are available. Meetings generally include a presentation on some entertainment related topic such as balloon twisting, face painting, magic, history, business aspects, etc.
Each year, members can participate in a number of public service clowning functions such as parades. Members receive a monthly newsletter by email or post. There is an annual holiday party banquet as well as select club outings. The club has a good library of clowning related books and videos, and also holds occasional swap meets. Potential members must perform in a certain number of club functions to be considered, then must be sponsored by an existing club member. Members pay small annual dues.
