Bee Bee the Clown is happy to present her Best and Brightest Variety Show at the after-dinner entertainment for NCI 2025! Also known as Jackie Reynolds, Bee Bee lives in semi-rural Dutchess County, in eastern NY State. Her unique combination of comedy magic, ventriloquism, puppets, and juggling has charmed audiences at library and school shows, community days, parties and senior centers for more than 33 years. She brings laughter and joy into the world for kids of all ages as Bee Bee the Clown, Mrs. Santa, and Jackie the Magician. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as she creates laughter and brings out the kid in all of us!

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.
