Los Angeles Clown Company provides professional clown entertainment for children, adults, families, businesses, community organizations, and entertainment productions throughout Greater Los Angeles and Southern California.
The company is led by Gilly the Clown, also known as SAG-AFTRA actor, filmmaker, and professional performer Guilford Adams. Gilly has worked as a professional clown for approximately 20 years, entertaining more than 70,000 children at over 4,000 parties and events. His work combines live comedy, audience participation, circus skills, music, magic, character performance, and decades of acting experience.
Gilly creates interactive entertainment designed to bring children into the experience rather than asking them to sit quietly and watch. Depending on the selected package, children’s party entertainment may include:
Programs can be adjusted to suit the children’s ages, number of guests, venue, theme, and event schedule.
For younger audiences, Gilly often appears in his friendly minimal-makeup presentation, sometimes called Gilly Lite. This approachable look includes a colorful professional clown costume and red nose without heavy full-face makeup.
Los Angeles Clown Company is available for children’s birthday parties, first birthdays, schools, preschools, camps, family gatherings, holiday celebrations, fundraisers, company family days, and community events.
Gilly also enjoys entertaining adults and does not limit his work to children’s parties.
Adult clown entertainment is available for milestone birthdays, 30th and 40th birthday celebrations, bars, nightlife venues, private parties, company gatherings, holiday events, circus-themed celebrations, and unusual special occasions.
Adult appearances may include improvisation, visual comedy, magic, juggling, balloon activities, circus instruction, audience interaction, character entrances, and customized performance ideas. The tone can be adjusted to fit the audience, venue, theme, and preferred boundaries of the host.
Adult events may feature Full-Faced Gilly, a traditional professional clown presentation with complete makeup and a classic circus appearance.
Los Angeles Clown Company can provide entertainment for businesses, schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, restaurants, senior communities, city programs, festivals, grand openings, fundraisers, employee gatherings, company picnics, promotional events, and brand activations.
Gilly’s extensive live-performance experience allows him to adapt to different audiences, schedules, venues, crowd sizes, and event formats. Entertainment options can be discussed in advance so the performance supports the larger event.
In addition to his live entertainment career, Guilford Adams is a professional SAG-AFTRA actor, clown, filmmaker, physical comedian, and specialty performer.
He has appeared as an actor or clown in more than 100 film and television projects and approximately 100 commercials. His credits include television series, feature films, branded videos, digital comedy, music videos, short films, and national advertising campaigns.
Guilford is available for films, television programs, commercials, branded content, music videos, photo shoots, promotional campaigns, and specialty clown roles.
Guilford is also a filmmaker and co-director of the feature-length documentary American Clown. His experience in front of and behind the camera gives him a strong understanding of visual storytelling, production needs, and collaboration with directors, producers, agencies, and creative teams.
Los Angeles Clown Company serves Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California communities, including Hollywood, West Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, Long Beach, the San Fernando Valley, and nearby areas.
