Big news from the Clown Garage!

We are so excited to introduce our student intern to you all. This marks a new exciting chapter as we expand our clown family and open the doors for new voices to tinker, tumble, and take part in the beautiful chaos that keeps the Clown Garage spinning. Join us in giving Elise the warmest welcome as she dives headfirst into the clowning life!

Elise is a circus artist with SANCA Seattle and a student at Gibson Ek High School. Gibson Ek offers an internship program where students collaborate with businesses to gain skills and explore careers. Elise reached out to Clown Garage in hopes of learning more about business ownership and working as a circus artist, coach and clown.

Together we are doing exciting work in marketing, content creation, and youth class coaching in order to expand the Clown Garage’s presence and further connect with the community! We can't wait to see Elise learn, grow, and thrive in this exciting internship!

Over the past season, our physical comedy students have been building bravery and physical tomfoolery like no other. They are learning to trip and flail headfirst into life, and now they are ready to prove it!

On April 30th, at 7:00pm our students will be strutting their stuff at Clown Garage's student showcase, and you're invited! ⭐

Come see the joy of Clown Garage and experience a magical performance led by incredible emerging clowns.

🎉You’re invited to celebrate our
grand opening! Join us on tomorrow 03/25 at 11am as we officially cut the ribbon on our brand new school space in Issaquah! We’re honored to have Mayor Mark Mullet there for the big moment.

Come celebrate with us! There will be light snacks, some fun improv festivities, and plenty of festivities.

📍1315 NW Mall St, Issaquah
(Just off Gilman Blvd next to Gaslamp Bar & Grill)

Clowning connects us. It’s about laughing at ourselves, poking at the status quo, and building a playful, united community of fools. In our Issaquah classes, you’ll explore circus‑rooted arts like Physical Humor and Clowning, discovering what happens when you let your body lead the joke.

Guided by expert mentor and Cirque du Soleil artist Mick Holsbeke, you’ll build confidence, embrace vulnerability, and make big, fearless comic choices.

No experience needed. Just a love of movement and a willingness to take a joyful leap.

Join us this spring. Register today — link in bio!
