This show was amazingly jaw dropping, extraordinarily brilliant. The amount of skill, balance and bravery was superb! From Phoenix to Arizonaand not forgetting Walesthese actors are spectacular. I cannot stress enough how surprising this is. I especially liked Hermy the Clown who was very funny.

This show is full of street performers; knife jugglers, unicyclists and lots of other hair raising daredevil acts. One of the performers even balanced a swordpointed end downon his forehead! Another balanced a bowling pin on his head while spinning a football with one hand and juggling tennis balls with the other. There was also a band that played Mexican style music and I really liked the girl in it who played the trumpet.

They have different acts on each time so the audience will always be surprised. I found the staff very friendly as were the performers and volunteers. The venue was a good size too, it had a good vibe about it.

I would rate The Freedom Family Circus four stars as they dropped a few items while performing. But this is easily done under tense circumstances.
