Please check out our website to learn more about the cast and their many talents.  Many of the RCIC artists, like our Ringmaster & Daredevil Extraordinaire Joseph Dominik Bauer, are pedigrees of circus families – some of which go back 10 generations. Others offer viewers a unique experience that is hard to find in the circus world because there is no one like them to perform their acts and specialties so flawlessly.

Important Notice about Use of Circus Animals at the Royal Canadian International Circus

The RCIC show excludes the use of exotic animals or endangered species in any of its acts. It is a family oriented, family priced acrobatic / thrill show showcasing a multicultural parade of circus families from around the world. We transitioned away from exotics to this new format six years ago; and the public reception has been over 90% positive.
