Working at a circus

It's fun being a circus acrobat. As "Damian the Great", I love performing for hundreds of people. Of course, I also work very hard. Performing for a circus means that you're never in the same place for very long. But that's great, because every day is a little bit different!

In my circus there are 150 performers, from 40 different countries. We usually do between six and ten shows a week. On an average day I wake up about ten o'clock in the morning. I'm always hungry, and I start the day with a big breakfast; coffee, orange juice, eggs and toast. After this I take a long shower! I have lived far away from my family and friends for a long time now, and I miss them a lot. So after breakfast I use my laptop to send emails to friends and family back home. In the afternoons I often go sightseeing in the place we are performing.

The show starts at 8 pm, but performers have to be in the circus tent at 5 pm. I like to get there early to practise my routine. Even though I've done the performance hundreds of times, I still get nervous. I perform nine metres up in the air and there's no safety equipment.

After this it's time for me to put my costume on. I also paint my face completely white, which takes another thirty minutes. Next, all the acrobats do some exercises together, and then I spend some time relaxing. I have to be very calm before I perform because I could easily fall. I feel great when I'm in the air but I'm always happy to come down again!

By the time I've finished work, I'm hungry again. I don't normally eat lunch because I've got to hang upside down a lot during my act! For dinner I go to the circus canteen with the other acrobats. I spend so much time with the other performers that they are like family to me. I'm happy to work with such great people. My job can be difficult and dangerous but it's also very exciting. I don't think I could do a normal 9-5 job now!
