Idk if this is still open (I’m pretty new to reddit so idk how this all works) but I had cancer when I was 15 so I stayed at a children’s hospital too for a long time. I live in the Netherlands so we have something different called Cliniclowns which are people dressed up as clowns that entertain the children in their rooms. They came to my room sometimes and tbh, it was pretty awkward for me cause I was a teenager so I didn’t really like clowns and stuff like that. I still find it great what they, and you do though, it’s absolutely amazing how you can make children forget about their illnesses and just laugh again, I’ve seen it happen and that made me really happy. But I wondered, do you have more teenagers that you visit and if so, how do they usually react to your show? Idk what kind of shows you do but the Cliniclowns were really for young kids so that’s why I just felt awkward when they came along and acted like I was a kid too. Have you had that happen before too? When a kid/teenager just really didn’t like it?

That’s really great. You do amazing work! I still remember how out of place I felt in the hospital and how I was constantly looking for a distraction from everything. There were some shows at my hospital too but unfortunately for me they were all for little kids as well but it was nice seeing them laugh too. It would’ve been great if they had shows like yours too though! But yeah, I can’t really complain, everyone did their best and it wasn’t like I had a horrible time there. I actually got to see the Queen of my country as well so that was exciting!
