The Coney Island Circus Sideshow is extremely versatile, and able to perform in a variety of settings. A good performance area should be roughly 6 to 8 feet around. A performance stage is ideal, but not essential to our performance. Access to electricity is required for show function. Audio hookups for music and microphones are preferred, but not required. Performances including magic as a show component require a performance space shielded from view from behind and to the sides of the performance area to provide the best presentation to the audience.

A private dressing area for performers, appropriately conditioned air (heat/cool) with mirrors, and access to electricity is required.

Outdoor venues are acceptable but should be shielded from wind, rain, and other elements for ideal show conditions. The Coney Island Circus Sideshow provides performers and props only. We are not equipped with portable structures or tents to house a show. The client is responsible for providing adequate shielding and shelter for outdoor performances.

Performance venues must be approved for the performance of fire. Local fire authorities should be consulted and approve fire performances within the boundaries of the given venue. Fire eating is diminished and difficult to perform in outdoor conditions. Fire eating is extremely diminished during the day and especially so in sunny conditions. In most cases, outdoor daytime performances of fire are not recommended. Please take this into consideration before booking fire performances.
