What they are looking for
Clowns.com, a children's entertainment company, is looking for a lead performer to perform in and help run live shows for kids and families in New York. They want strong stage presence, clear communication, an upbeat attitude and the ability to keep children engaged, plus comfort following show scripts and working with other performers. You must be available every Saturday and Sunday. This is a non-union job. It is paid: $25 to $35 per hour, and the work runs from November 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. Send a recent professional headshot and your resume, and answer a few questions about your experience with kids and your availability. The listing does not give a closing date. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Answer the four questions in the listing with concrete examples: birthday parties, event hosting, children's theater or any show where you kept a young crowd engaged. A smiling headshot in natural light and bright clothes helps show the energy they want. If you have a short clip of yourself hosting or singing for kids, add it as a link. Before you accept, ask how many shows there are per day, where they take place and whether travel between events is covered.
