Jamie Adkins in Circus Incognitus

Jamie Adkins, stars in his “seamless and impressive” unforgettable one-man circus comedy Circus Incognitus (New York Times). A huge success since its debut in 2008, with more than 1000 performances in 22 countries, Adkins has “actually fulfilled the promise of ringleaders everywhere,” creating a family-friendly show for all ages (New York Sun).

Playing the vulnerable everyman, Adkins wanders onto stage with his new show in a box, delighted to find the audience already waiting. In an hour of intricately choreographed mayhem in the tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Adkins mounts a disintegrating ladder, negotiates a precarious slack wire, juggles almost everything. The audience is invited to join in the fun, tossing oranges for Jamie to catch on a fork held between his teeth!

Through a series of impossible and uproarious adventures, the celebrated clown-acrobat-juggler-illusionist-tightrope-walker attempts to win the audience over in this one-man show where tenderness and irresistible humour meet. A former member of Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize and an expert at comedy born of desperation, Adkins "frees a pure and profound laugh that gives you wings" (Le Monde).
