I’ll get it out of the way, I work for a circus. And yeah, it’s pretty darn cool. But let me clear up some misconceptions people might have about what circus life is really like.
1. We don’t have clowns.
2. It’s a lot of practice hours.
3. Everyone learns everything to the best of their ability.
4. Entertainers do travel.
5. It can be dangerous.
6. Your coworkers become your circus family.
7. It’s our job to keep you happy and having fun!
