TONY AND NIKKI JONES

Tony and Nikki Jones are the founders and former directors of TNT University, now serving as directors emeritus and continued vital members of the Steering Committee.  Tony has been clowning internationally since 1986 in such venues as circus, fairs, malls, festivals, company parties, trade shows, store openings, church services, stage production, radio and television with experience in ballooning, walk-arounds, restaurants and stilt walking. He has attended over 400 schools, conferences and educational programs in the art of clowning. He is now an international instructor and performer and travels spreading laughter to all audiences young and old alike. He is truly a clown’s clown with experience in all areas of clowning big and small.  Nikki has been clowning since 1997 with experience in face painting, ballooning, story telling, clown magic, walk-arounds and stage performance in such venues as festivals, church services, retirement homes, company parties, and stage productions. She has attended and taught numerous classes on the art of clowning at schools and conferences throughout the United States. She is a true talent and with her genuine love of people she is a real asset to the clown world.   Tony’s favorite scripture can be found in Philippians 2:3-4:  “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”  Tony and Nikki adopted sweet little Mitchell this year, after fostering him for some time, and Nikki’s favorite verse right now is I Samuel 1:27, because she “prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.”  She exclaims, “I have been blessed to entertain children for years, and now I'm blessed with one who entertains me daily and he's my gift from God.”
