The Big Circus Show Crowds Come Back For
The Classic Circus Show is our signature grandstand production — a full one-ring circus experience built for fairs, festivals, and large events that want to give their audience something genuinely spectacular.
Sixteen acts on average. A live ringmaster guiding the crowd from one performance to the next. Audience volunteers pulled into the action throughout. Stuffed animal giveaways. Pre-show interaction with performers. And a finale that brings the whole thing home.
Every season the show gets bigger. Every cast member is a trained professional who has auditioned for their spot. No animals, no children performing — just skilled adults who have dedicated their lives to circus arts, performing at the highest level.
Available rain or shine. No large tent required. Can run 1–4 shows per day.

What Our Show Clients Say
“
Brandie, Casper, and the Monkey Man were so amazing to work with. Brandie was my contact through the whole planning process and was so attentive and responsive to all of our needs. Our first time event was a huge success, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

I highly recommend the Cincinnati Circus Company. When I called to book, a real person answered the phone, quickly looked us up, made great recommendations for new fun activities for our mostly young crowd, and sent out our contract on the same day.
