Medical clown

The purpose of the program is to send a pair of medical clowns to a seriously ill child at home with the doctor's consent. Here, in a pleasant atmosphere, the medical clowns spend time with a small patient, with his invited family and friends, full of improvisation and fun, adapted to his interests and health. The program aims to provide mental support to the sick child and his family and bring new joy and energy into their home.

In the Variety program the main roles are played by seniors and it is based on their memories and favorite activities. Its purpose is to brush up on their youth times and bring seniors back to the imaginary glow of the spotlight. It allows seniors to return, at least in part, to times when they were not yet bothered by health problems or loneliness. During the several-day program, seniors rehearse performances with the medical clowns. The first two pilot projects in Prague and Brno proved that the Variety was a real boost and that everyone enjoyed it to the fullest. The success of the Varieté was followed by the medical clowns programs.

Medical Clowns visit seriously ill adults and bring them a basket full of entertaining objects: humorous books by Czech and foreign writers, hilarious CDs, crossword puzzles. Every seriously ill patient is endowed with the Medical Clowns. But above all, the Medical Clowns bring these people the humor, understanding, interest and joy that are often left behind under the weight of demanding treatment.

Medical clowns created the Radio Clown project with the aim of expanding the artistic offer and entertaining the residents of nursing homes, even when the clowns cannot be with them physically. The radio shows are full of stories, cheerful and instructive songs of all genres and moods, recipes for really tasty goodies, riddles and the solutions, and especially a friendly atmosphere.

The medical clowns go on a tour full of laughter every year. The geriatric wards of hospitals, nursing homes and long-term care facilities in the Czech Republic and Moravia come to life in an extraordinary atmosphere. The tour is well received by the medical staff and by the patients.
