Hello my friends!

I have been a professional entertainer for the past 10 years and do about 300 shows a year. I started as a clown and have trained myself and with colleagues as yourselves help, in balloon art, juggling and magic.

Well a few years back the families I have entertained through the years started asking  if I do a "straight entertainer"....

So there it all started!

There has been Saturdays where I have had 5 engagements, 2 as Mackee  the Clown and 3 as Mackee the Entertainer(hence no make-up).  I have went through the transformation in a matter of 20-30 minutes going down the freeway(somebody else driving of course).

Anyway I was wondering if anybody else out there deals with this chaos.  At times I feel I need to make a decision and be one or the other.  It is becoming more dificult to keep in charactor and keep my sanity *<:o)

Thanks for listening,,,,,,,,,
Mackee
