How do you start a circus?

Answer 1

Starting a circus can be a very complicated business. There is a tent, which can cost thousands of dollars, performers you have to pay, lighting, ect. If your starting a circus, start off small. There are some easy acrobatic tricks you can do. Clowning is also very easy and entertain the youngsters. If you have a dog, teach it some tricks. If you are wanting more "professional" animals, then you will have to have inspections from the USDA. Don't forget insurance. Now I'm not sure if you want to make a small circus, (easy,cheaper,) or an extravaganza(millions of $, harder) You would also have to include concessions. Circuses are slowly losing popularity. You could get stuck at a bunch of county fairs if your not to famous. Just start off performing for relatives, then maybe at a park, and slowly, you'll get better places. Don't count on being the next

Shrine or Ringling Bros. Good luck!
