Nia Jones

Nia has grown up with the circus, and over the past ten years, she has improved with her juggling acts amongst taking part in hilarious sketches. She is mostly known for her portrayal of the Harley Quinn character from Batman where she rides around on a hoverboard whilst juggling. Hi Nia, can you tell me a bit more about your life in the circus? “Obviously I have grown up in the circus; it's all I know. I used to go to different primary schools every week, back in the day and then slowly got into the ring and got into the ring when I was about four. I started my own juggling act when I was ten years old.” So, what changes have you seen since being a part of the circus? “This year we have been sold out every show, and it's great to finally see the show get seen. This year it’s great. We’re selling out a day in advance, whereas in previous years it’s been sold out on the day. “If we could stay here longer, we would.” “We’re a big happy family, most of us have been together for years. So, for example, 'The Geek' (Emil Delbosq) taught me how to juggle when I was seven years old, so I have grown up with him and his son Lewis. Ivan the guy on the wheel came to my dad’s troupe when he was 14, so he’s like my big brother. We have all been together through lockdown.
