If people just want a clown to stand there and be cute then they will have more luck and it will be cheaper just to buy the make-up and do it themselves. Clowning is not a seperate skill from juggling, balloons or magic; clowning is a part of those skills. Whether you put on a clown face or not if you are entertaining with balloons for children you are using the same skills that a clown would use. It is also worth noting that a clown can use all of his entertaining skills out of clown making it possible for him to be a more marketable force in this current economy whereas someone who just juggles will have to turn down calls when the person is looking specifically for a clown.

Clowns should be funny and cute. The goal of a clown is to make people laugh. Spend more time on learning the craft of making people laugh. Then you won't have to spend all that time learning how to make balloons, magic and juggling. I have to disagree with this. Clowns should be funny and cute.
