My husband and I currently live in Michigan and have been trying to decide
what city would be best for starting a new business. We are both professional
clowns and have a party business (face painting, balloons )
We are wondering if anyone would know if Austin would be a good place
to start this type of business.

Two clowns in austin kiwi and doodlebug get booked 6 months in advance. Doodlebug doesnt have prices, but kiwi has prices on her site. She is something like 145/hour, less for more hours.

Many people used doodlebug but she has gotten very expensive, so one party I went to recently had kiwi

I can think of least two other clowns, Penelope Foolish and Bonzo Crunch. A google search shows at least six clowns working independently and two booking services. Are there room for more?

I do not know. My kids do not like clowns!
