The South Shore Joeys is a local group of clowns based out of the South Shore Massachusetts area. We are chartered as Alley 159A of the Clowns of America International (COAI) and uphold the rules and structure of that organization. The South Shore Joeys is a non-profit organization.
The purpose of the group is to further the art of clowning and to help each other develop as better clowns. The alley meets bimonthly through most of the year and performs as a group for community and charity events (donations are accepted though not required). The alley also performs in parades for a small fee (this is how the alley funds most of its activities).
It is not the purpose of the alley to promote, advertise, or hire individual clowns. But rather to promote clowning as an art form and bring smiles and laughter to all ages through public appearances of the group. It is also the purpose of the alley to help educate its members in new skills and traing/bring along new clowns.
