Now in its 24th season, UniverSoul Circus returns stronger than ever, boasting some of the most phenomenal acts ever to grace center ring. Returning by popular demand - viral internet sensations - The Fresh Clownsss, from Detroit. Come find out why The Fresh Clownsss and their energetic and infectious dance moves have won over audiences and become a YouTube sensation with their popular dance, "JuJu On That Beat," garnering millions of views.

"Come to our show and get ready for some pure un-adulterated energy under the Big Top," said Founder and CEO Cedric Walker. "Our show is bigger and more explosive than ever with acts that are going to blow your mind. Come on out to the show; sing and dance and free your mind. Come Un-Limit Yourself!"

Also appearing at UniverSoul, the Xtreme Bikes from Chicago and upstate New York will get your adrenaline pumping through the roof with crazy Freestyle Motocross stunts that will blow your mind. And returning after a few years away from the big top are the Bone Breaking Contortionists from Guinea. Families will witness an amazing array of international human and animal talent including Elephants (USA), Teeter Board & Hand Vaulting (Gabon, Guinea, Ethiopia), Mixed Animal Act (Mexico) featuring Zebras and Camels, Horses (Gabon, Guinea, Russia), and perennial favorites Caribbean Dancers (Trinidad and Tobago).

Leading the charge this year is Ringmaster Lucky Malatsi of South Africa, a multitalented entertainer who brings his unbridled energy to center ring. Lucky, 27, has been with UniverSoul Circus in a wide range of capacities during his 15 years with the company - from Contortionist and Hip-Hop dancer to Trapeze Artist. Lucky has done it all and travels with his wife and two young kids where they make their home on the circus' backlot.

Joining Lucky will be the amazing and beloved pint-sized Ringmaster's Sidekick extraordinaire, Zeke! Zeke has held his esteemed position with the circus since the very first show in 1994.
