New York Clown Alley - New York, New York

The Alley is a group of clowns and magicians or any other type of family entertainers that meet on the third Wednesday of every month at the Elmhurst Hospital in Queens New York. Each month various topics of the entertainment industry are discussed. Guest speakers are on hand at various times as well as the training and guidance of those individuals that are new or interested in clowning (or juggling, face painting, balloon artistry, magic etc.) At various times of the year the members of the alley get together in costume and visit the children at the hospital to bring miles of smiles to all the patients and their families. It truly is a wonderful feeling. Although the alley itself is new, the majority of its members have been in the clowning industry for many, many years. There is a certain camaraderie within the alley that grows with each meeting and at times new friendships are made and "work together" ethics are exchanged. Everyone is treated on an equal level. You can feel at home here at the alley, and with some of us, this is a family. If you wish to visit us, feel free to come on down to Elmhurst hospital in Queens at 79-01 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY 11373 on the third Wednesday of the month
