Come to NCI and see things from a new perspective!

​​NCI is pleased to announce that the entertainment portion of the banquet will be open to everyone regardless of banquet tickets purchased.
 
Chad Burke’s hypnosis show will be after-dinner entertainment. His are high-energy, interactive experiences where your audience becomes the stars. Driven by participation, volunteers with big imaginations and bold personalities take center stage—whether they’re rocking out like a superstar or swimming like a fish. It’s laughter, surprise, and pure entertainment from start to finish. More than just a show, Chad leaves every audience with a positive, relatable message that sticks long after the show has ended.

Our Mission...

The Northeast Clown Institute is a non-profit educational organization, open to all who wish to develop and/or improve their clowning skills.

NCI is committed to keeping our tuition costs down, so that the average person can afford to come and learn the clowning craft.

Our vendors are informative and helpful, bringing with them their clowning experiences and knowledge to share with the students.


The principal charity supported by the NCI is the International Shrine Clown Association's Sneaker Fund. This is the charity which raises money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children throughout North America. 100% of the donations collected for the Sneaker Fund goes directly to burn research.
