There are various jobs. Performers, barkers, roustabouts, and others.
These may be American terms, in England we generally use different terms (or used to because it is some time since I toured circus!).
'Performer' is little used apart from in the media, generally circus acts like to be called 'artistes' mainly, perhaps, because of the long association with the stage and Variety (called Vaudeville in America). They would freely interchange between the ring and the stage.
British circuses do not have Barkers or Roustabouts - these are generally on the fairgrounds here and separate.
Persons with touring circuses are called 'tenters' the term the whole show be they tent men - proprietors - or artistes. All became equal in a crisis many of which may occur during a season

Do people from Cascade Iowa get into RB Circus free?
Yes. It goes back to when the Ringling Brothers were on the verge of bankruptcy in the middle of Iowa trying to save their little circus. The town of Monticello insisted that they need to pay for a permit to set up their circus so they moved 10 miles north to Cascade. There the mayor and an influential banker said that they could set up their show free of a permit. Many people came to the circus while they were in Cascade and they got enough money to move on. The next year when the circus came back through to Monticello, people from Cascade went to the show. There they were picked out of the crowed by one of the brothers and brought in front of the whole audience. There the brother proclaimed that any resident of Cascade will forever know the gratitude of their circus by attending their shows for free. It stands to this day. (We just took my son to the circus last week, and my husband got in for free.)
