The Best In Family Entertainment
Described as a clown whose artistry and skill have reached international status, Bruce Johnson combines magic, juggling, plate spinning, trick cartoons, origami, pantomime, and audience interaction to create his own unique style in his performances as Charlie The Juggling Clown. Bruce is particularly known for his rapport with people of all ages and his interaction with audience volunteers. His performances all reveal the heart of a clown. Whether performing for one child or thousands of adults, he strives to always present the best possible clown entertainment.
Charlie is truly a clown for children of all ages, including the grown up kind. Younger children respond to his gentleness. Older children, who have reached the age of skepticism, respond to his juggling and magic skill. Adults in particular enjoy his skill and interaction with children. A common comment after one of his performances is, "I don't know who enjoyed him the most, the adults or the children." Charlie frequently entertains all adult audiences using strictly clean material.
A clown since 1974, Bruce spent six seasons with outdoor circuses, and eleven years at the Raging Waters Amusement Park in San Dimas, CA. He was also a juggler for special events at Disneyland, including the grand opening of Toontown.
He has represented the United States in international variety shows at clown conventions and festivals in North America, Europe, and Asia. He has performed and lectured in Canada, England, Japan, Malaysia, Scotland, Singapore, Sweden, and the United States. He has performed thousands of hours of walkaround, circus, birthday party, banquet, and stage entertainment.
His peers recognize Bruce as an entertainment expert and historian. He is in frequent demand as an instructor at variety arts conferences. Every year since 1990 he has been on the staff of the world famous University of Wisconsin Clown Camp. He was a senior columnist for Laugh-Makers Variety Arts Journal, and has had over 800 articles published in various trade publications. Bruce wrote the highly acclaimed Comedy Techniques For Entertainers and the recently completed Creativity For Entertainers trilogy.
Bruce is considered one of America's most original clowns. His own performances combine original material with historical material everyone else has forgotten.
