Clown Doctors for adults

“I am writing to thank you with all my heart for the fun, cheer and brightness you brought to me when I was in hospital for open heart surgery… I am thirty seven years of age but felt just as excited as the kids no doubt are to see you.  It was a terrific morale booster!”

Children are our focus, but adult patients benefit too. Humour is built around each person’s interests and responses and participation is encouraged. Adults have just as much fun as the kids! Clown Doctors also play a role in palliative care. The aim is to provide ways of dealing with death, and paradoxically people frequently share their feelings. Clown Doctors take risks in balancing lightness with the profound.  Caring clowning can speak the language of the heart and bring a sense of profound connection and consolation.
