Toby's Clown School
Lake Placid, Florida, USA
Toby's Clown School, founded by Toby the Clown, aka Keith Stokes, is largely responsible. Stokes, a clown for 29 years, founded the school in 1993 to carry on his work of "clown medicine" at nearby hospitals after he suffered a heart attack. Since then, more than 403 clowns have graduated from Toby's. They now entertain patients at all area hospitals, day care centers and nursing homes, spreading fun and humor.
Long range planning includes the only Clown College in America. The property for the college is located on the comer of DeVane Circle and Interlake Blvd in "Uptown Lake Placid". When the college is completed it will house a large auditorium complete with stage and appropriate lighting for student training. Also included in the plans is an expanded gift shop.
