May 16, 2026Professional, Engaging, and Unforgettable
Alex was amazing to work with! From start to finish, communication was excellent, he arrived on time, and was a complete professional throughout our event. We hired him for a circus-themed fundraiser, and he exceeded every expectation. He worked seamlessly with our MC, interacted with guests as they arrived, and continued engaging with the crowd throughout the evening. His performance brought so much energy and value to the event, and our attendees absolutely loved him. We received so many compliments, and he truly helped make the night memorable. Highly recommend!

December 22, 2025A magical experience for the whole family
Alex delighted the entire family, about 30 people from age 2 to 70. The show exactly fit our theme and he was very accommodating to work with us on both the timing and his act. Even though the adults immensely enjoyed it, it was the giggles, shrieks of laughter, and rapt attention of the children that really sold the show as an absolute success. Alex has an amazing attitude that will inject any party or event with energy. We feel lucky to have found him!!!

What to expect
Option A: (Roaming Act)
You hire me as a roaming entertainer. I stroll through your event on stilts, a unicycle, or with my Mobile Performance Station full of my circus tricks including Juggling, Hat & Cane, and much more. I will perform short and highly interactive shows for smaller groups as I stroll. These interactions are very immersive and I love to include the audience into my sets.
Option B: (Stage Show)
You hire me to perform a stage show for all of your guests including all of my circus disciplines (excluding stilt-walking). Stage show runs anywhere from 15-30 minutes depending on your preference. Stand-Alone 5-7 minute acts are also available for variety shows and private events. Can also extend past the 30 minutes and create an "Interactive Circus" where people can learn and try out some of the circus tricks that they saw in the show: (Juggling, Object Balancing, Stilts, Rola Bola, etc...)
