A little more about our Big Circus Show

Every season our one-ring, Big Circus Show gets bigger and better! Before each show, our performers greet the kids in the audience, and after every performance our cast will sign autographs and pose for photographs. We use a lot of volunteers, and all of them are given giant stuffed animals! The whole audience becomes a part of the action!

The Big Circus Show uses live music and original compositions for our performances. Cincinnati Circus also uses NO live animals during our shows, but you may see one of our own performers dressed up as a tiger and jumping through a flaming hoop!

We also do not sell any products at our shows, but you are welcome to do so! This leaves your organization or school with the ability to sell concessions and prizes for fundraising.

Because we are an open air Circus, you don't have to worry about a large tent. We can set up almost anywhere and perform rain or shine. 

One of a kind performances, for one of a kind events

Our show is easily customized to your taste, requirements, audience, and vision. If you need a show with stunts, we can do that. Anything is possible, so even if your show needs extra fire, we can do that too! Should you need to come out and speak before the Grand Finale, or want us to mention certain sponsors, we will be happy to do that too. Additionally, our Big Circus Show acts can be changed before any performance, and can be catered to the age range of the audience. In the event that the audience is younger, we will change the acts for the kids in the crowd. Likewise, if we have an all adult audience, we add performances geared for adults.

Many of our clients want several different shows during a day, or spread out through the week. We are able to provide almost anything! Our experienced cast can handle any situation, including the time a tornado knocked our rig over in the middle of the night, and we still performed the next day!

Cincinnati Circus is different from other Circuses

We love other circuses, and have many friends that now perform elsewhere. Comparatively, we have many cast members that got started with other circuses. The Cincinnati Circus highly recommends that you check out as many different circuses as you can. We do it too!

However, there are some important differences between the Cincinnati Circus and other circuses. We are not a family circus, and all of our performers are adults. Our performers are individuals that have dedicated their lives to circus and have multiple skills. Performers audition for their spots on one of our three (Red, Black, & Gold) casts, and ere chosen because they are the best. The result of this rigorous audition process is a clean show, with many more acts. We aren't trying to stretch the show in order to get to an hour and a half performance, we are trying to fit it all in that time frame!

With The Cincinnati Circus, you have four shows to choose from! You don't need to request a specific cast, (red, black, or gold) just tell us what you're trying to accomplish. If you have preferences, tell us which of the four shows sounds good to you!

Many times we have events, (especially county fairs and festivals) that want to go even bigger! Talk to us about adding our Stunt Show or our Circus Carnival Sideshow into your Big Circus Show performance. The best option for these additional shows is to run them separately, and on an opposite schedule. Each of these shows are about an hour in length, and just like our Big Circus Show, they are complete with everything needed for a full performance!
