Global Artists, Working Together
Our troupe of professional clowns may travel the world â but we never go it alone! To facilitate artistic exchange and amplify local voices, our shows feature talented performers from the countries and communities we serve.
Isn’t laughter better together?
Spreading Joy Since 1995
Clowns Without Borders USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that exists for a simple reason: to bring the transformative power of joy to areas of conflict, displacement, and emergency.
We envision a world where kids get to experience contagious laughter and unbridled joy in the very moments they need it most.
Bringing Laughter into Areas of Crisis
When communities are facing hardship and desperately need a laugh, cue the clowns!
To make sure our comedic timing is pitch-perfect, we only go where weâre invited. By partnering with local organizations on the ground, we make sure that audience members are in a place to embrace laughter.
Because Play Is a Human Right
Clowning is serious business! Through live performance, we temporarily transport kids out of their difficult life conditions and into a world of imagination, creativity, and fun.
We canât solve the crisis these kids are facing or erase what theyâve experienced, but we CAN make one day truly magical â and that matters.
We Partner with Amazing Organizations for Every Performance
No funny business here. Before we bring the laughs, we partner with local organizations to make sure that other critical needs â like food, shelter, and medicine â have been met. Letâs work together!
