On average, professional circus entertainment costs $300-$400 for a one-hour performance. This price can vary depending on the number of performers in the circus group, the level of difficulty associated with the acts, and the troupe’s experience level.
Circus entertainment is a broad category and can feature a variety of acts. Some circus shows are simple with clowns, fire performers, stilt walkers, contortionists, and more. Other full big-top worthy shows might have animals, trapeze artists, and aerial performers.
Consider your specific event, expected audience, and venue space when deciding the most appropriate performers to hire. Most circus entertainment agencies can worth with you to curate a perfect show for any occasion.
Circus acts are most commonly booked for one-hour performances, but most companies are able to accommodate any event length. For longer shows or experiences, performers may need breaks to rest or set up for the next portion of their act.
Circus entertainers detail what services they offer on their vendor profile. When booking, select which acts you’d like performed at your event. For example, you may choose an aerial acrobatics performance to be paired with an illusionist routine. It’s wise to communicate with your circus entertainer before booking about any specific needs or special requests you may have for your unique event—a theme to follow, any space limitations, or a primarily young audience, for example.
It’s best to book your performers 6-9 months before your special occasion. This gives you plenty of time to find the perfect act and communicate all the specifics of the event. It also gives the circus performers time to prepare adequately. Especially popular circus shows are also likely to be booked up months in advance. As soon as you verify your event’s location, time, and date, start your search!
There are so many types of circus entertainers, that it’s easy to find shows that fit almost any event. You can book a fire show for a beach party, a clown for a children’s party, or an aerial artist for a corporate event.
For a real big top experience, book a whole show to perform at a circus-themed party, prom, campus event, or even a wedding reception!
