Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Georgian Sunset Events, Harrison Haunts Halloween Event.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love all types of events for different reasons. Holiday, because I get to play with a strong theme. Family-oriented, because I am particularly skilled at creating material for that audience. Corporate, because I appreciate the opportunity to influence workplace culture for the better. Private/Community, because for a brief time I get to see how other people tick.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have trained with Atlantic Cirque, Halifax Circus, and the École Nationale de Cirque. My areas of practice include clowning and character work, juggling, aerial silks, acrobatics, and audience engagement. I create multidisciplinary circus work that combines technical skill with physical comedy and theatrical structure. My current work focuses on adaptable performances for theatres, festivals, schools, community events, and family audiences.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Cirque Du Soleil

How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Jesse and his Circus-In-A-Suitcase workshop were an absolute highlight of our Downtown Cambridge BIA event! Jesse's communication was seamless, making planning a breeze. He captivated the children with his engaging and interactive performance, leaving them smiling and excited. Beyond that, he has an incredible ability to energize the entire crowd, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Jesse's talent and professionalism made him a wonderful addition to our event, and we can't wait to work with him again!
