ABOUT LYLE SCHILLING
Lyle Schilling, owner and alter ego of Papa Chilly and Chilly the Clown, began performing professionally for families in the Valley of the Sun in 1983. After 12 years of teaching elementary school and clowning on the side, he realized it was time for a life change. He decided to take his clown skills and his developing 10 year old’s sense of humor and pursue his passion for entertaining kids. Lyle resigned his teaching position and instead of running away to join the circus, he decided to stay in Phoenix, his hometown, to perform, study and teach his craft of clowning.
Between 1987 and 2011, he made over 6,000 appearances throughout the southwest as Ronald McDonald. He performed at schools, libraries, parades, sporting events, corporate events and hospitals. If you grew up in Arizona, you may have seen one of his educational performances at your school!
In Chicago (2008), Lyle was awarded the title of Master Clown for his performances
and contributions to the art of clowning.
Now he is performing his family focused comedy magic shows throughout Arizona.
Recently Lyle has added another alter-ego to his performing personalities when
Santa Claus decided that while the elves had everything under control in the
North Pole, he would spend his winters performing until Christmas eve.
Papa Chilly Entertainment would love to help you. Please consider allowing us to entertain the kids of all ages in your life. We’d feel it was a privilege to help your family make memories that could last forever.
