More About Finney the Fool

Finney the Fool (aka Mr. Finn of Mr. Finn's Balloons) is a former circus clown, would-be rock star and general fool-for-hire, bringing joy, laughter and a bit of harmless chaos to festivals, private parties, corporate events and all points in between. Whether juggling, twisting balloons or performing magic tricks, Finney can provide any event with the ridiculousness it deserves!

​

Finney has trained with celebrated clowns such as Avner Eisenberg, Hilary Chaplain and Aitor Basauri and got his start under the tutelage of Steve Copeland and Ryan Combs, former Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey clowns. He is also a member of Clowns of America International, has toured with Kelly Miller Circus and Loomis Bros Circus, and is a fairly decent dancer.

*SPOILER ALERT!*

Finney the Fool's secret identity is Jon Finn, dad of two awesome kids and chief cook and bottle washer (literally!) at a preschool in SE Michigan, where he is known as Jon Juggles and specializes in the giving of fist bumps and high fives.
