Doc-O's Clowns -- A Short History

It all began over thirty years ago outside a small church near New Orleans.  It was there that Frank Irwin learned to blow up and twist balloons into cute animal shapes.  From then on, he carried balloons inside a doctor’s bag to the hospital where he worked and used them to cheer up the sick, injured, and hurting of all ages.  They called him "Doc" because he had been a Navy corpsman.  Soon it was "Doc-O" and there was no looking back.

His skills at juggling and stilt-walking have been honed over the many years of entertaining groups of all ages and size.  In 1990 he met Nancy, the skiing musician, and added a talented face painting partner to his show. Since then, Lake Tahoe has embraced the pair as their very own.
