I didn? want to join just any circus. I went straight to the top. I became a professional clown with Ringling Bros and Barnum \u0026amp; Bailey Circus. Within these 250+ pages you?l read over fifty very private, personal, and confidential stories revealing real life behind the canvas walls of ?he GREATEST SHOW on EARTH!?Candid stories about extraordinary characters in the ring, backstage and traveling on the circus train. There are tall tales of the world? greatest tiger trainer, short stories of the smallest man in the world and an interesting insight into the caliber of character it took to be a human cannonball. What you will find out is that Ringling was much more than a three-hour show. Behind it all, we were a family of international families, working side by side through good times and tragedies. We traveled by night and performed by day. We crisscrossed America in our own 40-car circus train. We were passionate, proud, disciplined and driven. We knew we were all a little different. Many dedicated their lives to become the best they could be, and some pushed themselves to become the greatest on the planet. In Clown Alley, we devoted our lives to making audiences laugh, while others defied death daily (in some instances, only 99% of the time). I LOVED my profession. For over twenty years the circus was my home. Unfortunately, running away from home and joining the circus is no longer an option for anyone. It? too late. After 146 years, Ringling Bros and Barnum \u0026amp; Bailey has closed forever (or at least for now.) The next best thing is to run away with me through these pages. Kick the sawdust, taste the peanuts, hear the applause, smell the animals, get inspired by the greatness and feel what it felt-like to follow this dream.
