Jamie Adkins, circus clown extraordinaire, brings his one-man show Circus Incognitus to the stage at the Simon Estes Auditorium next Monday, Feb. 8 at 7:30 p.m. It comes to Centerville through the booking efforts of the Centerville Concert Association.
Jamie Adkins began his career at the age of 13 in San Diego, where he delighted passers-by as a street performer. Later in San Francisco, he joined the Pickle Family Circus. Then this eclectic clown, juggler and balancing artist joined Montreal’s Cirque Eloize. With his many talents he was soon an integral member of the family of artists, making an invaluable contribution to the show “Excentricus.” In 500 performances of that show, he distinguished himself with his unique style that humorously conveys the essence of the ordinary man.
Jamie continues to forge ahead on his career path, always seeking new ways to develop his artistry. For this reason he is delighted to present his newest creation, “Circus Incognitus.”
Beginning with an empty stage and a single microphone, a shy Jamie musters the courage to face what he fears most, speaking in public. Over the next hour, Jamie creates the show around him using everyday objects to perform circus routines and even builds the set with discarded props. Each step of the show is fraught with challenge, but for every problem there is a solution…except Jamie’s solutions tend to be a bit unusual. Jamie shows the courage to try new ideas and not give up when all goes wrong… (one never knows what you can do until you try!)
Jamie’s clowning and acrobatic feats are brought to life in this story of a man who has something to say, but can’t quite get it out. This is “A must see show” — “A great family show.”
This is the third concert of the series and admission is by season membership. Single tickets will be available at the door for $15. Plan to attend this show on Monday, which has won the admiration of critics and the adoration of the circus-going public.
