• Greetings! You found us. Welcome to Church of Clown.

    Church of Clown is a community supported public organization whose purpose is to embolden humanity through community, teach resiliency through humor, find humility through service and nurture inspiration through joy.

    For us, Clown is a sacred essential medicine at work across all cultures and time. Dan Griffiths was inspired to found Church of Clown with other clowns and spiritual leaders who are also searching for community in which to generate new opportunities to practice their craft and to serve.

    Church of Clown is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in San Francisco, Ca.

“I’ve had the honor of meeting and sharing my work with clowns and communities across the globe. With the launch of Church of Clown I’ve found a home for my work, helping others to share their talents, gifts, and magic.”
