Transform Your Corporate Event from Forgettable to Phenomenal
MAKE YOUR EVENT
LEGENDARY
Events are forgotten by Tuesday...
...unless you bring in CirqOvation.
We combine circus spectacle with vaudeville wit to create experiences your guests will talk about for YEARS.
Our performers have worked around the world with Disney, Cirque du Soleil, NBC, and multiple Fortune 500 companies – but what truly sets us apart is how we connect with YOUR audience.

Chief Executive Superstar
Mr. Superstar is what is known in the business as a quintuple threat. He possesses the rare combination of herculean strength, unquestionable brilliance, rugged good looks, animal magnetism, and above all else, humility. He has a smile that can stop traffic. He has a sparkling gaze that will surely brighten the day of anyone caught in its path. Anyone lucky enough to merely shake his hand will find themselves overcome with a sense of comfort and ease that can only be matched by a mother’s warm embrace. Joshua J. Superstar graduated in the top 10% of his high school class in 1997.
