In the past 15 years, we have had hundreds of students train with the New York Goofs, and many of them have gone on to perform with Ringling Bros., The Big Apple Circus, Cirque du Soleil, and in theatrical companies around the country. Students have included professional clowns, actors, doctors, nurses, stockbrokers, lawyers, and even members of the clergy!
Clowning is our passion, and it is our mission to help ensure that physical comedy will live long and prosper through continuous training of new talent.

Laughter League is the flagship program of Slappy & Monday’s Foundation for Laughter, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Monday and Riley’s mission is to prove that not only is laughter the best medicine, but that clowns are one of the best ways to inspire laughter and help people’s health improve.
Therapeutic healthcare clowning currently reaches more than 100,000 children and their families annually with partner hospitals and summer camps.
