Jon Pessin, Licensed Goof-Off
Libertyville, Illinois
Jon's an energetic, clever entertainer who loves working with kids. He's worked as a puppeteer, clown, balloon twister, Santa Claus, and more. Reasonable rates combined with enthusiastic performance make him an entertainer not to be missed.
I've been twisting balloons since third grade, when I saw a twister make a sculpture of the Pink Panther riding a motorcycle. I've been working with kids ever since, first as an amateur and then as a professional. I officially opened my business in October of 2013, added party games a few months afterward, and worked Santa Claus into the mix a few months after that.
