Mission

Humorology Atlanta, HA! is a non-profit dedicated to bringing therapeutic joy to children and adults, empowering individuals through the art of clowning. We offer relief and laughter via playful distraction to those that face challenges, isolation, and medically sensitive situations.

History

Humorology Atlanta, HA! was founded in 2016. All of the clowns, or ‘Humorologists’, currently on our team also worked for the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit in Atlanta until 2016 when the circus had to file for bankruptcy and was therefore no longer able to support the Clown Care program.

Through HA! we are able to continue the great work of Clown Care and better serve our Atlanta Community. As a local organization we are more immediately available and accessible to those we serve.

Current Service

Our Humorologists currently bring therapeutic fun to Piedmont Columbus Regional. Humorology Atlanta, HA! has a pair of performers doing rounds at Piedmont Columbus Regional every week!

Our new initiative is a program dedicated to adults living in memory care facilities and aged care homes.

"From a personal perspective, I have to share that, this is flat-out the best, most fun, and intense job I’ve ever had.

It’s way of bringing our artistry to an environment in the spirit of service, and to foster a sort of conspiracy of fun to empower and remind people of the inherent nature of joy and play in the human experience."
Vincenzo Tortorici
Clown Doctor 2000-2012

Professional Artists

Our Humorologists are all professional performers who are additionally trained in the artistry of hospital clowning, assessing hospital environments, cultural sensitivity, and hospital hygiene.

Philosophy of Service

Our philosophy is to empower people who might feel powerless in their current situation, and to make authentic connections with everyone we meet. We strive to create joyful experiences for each unique person or environment. Our Humorologists believe in being of service.
