Gary is originally from Rhode Island and spent most of his time on the road performing all over the country and the world. He has spent many years entertaining kids and adults for years here in Western New York.

Gary and his wife moved to Florida earlier this year and will move into semi-retirement in his new home. He will stop traveling and performing and according to his Facebook page will be working at Walt Disney World.

So if you are missing Gary The Silent Clown's act after the fair, you will have a chance to see him again at Walt Disney World.
