Southport, Merseyside, UK 18th March, 2015. 'Dexter the Clown' aka Deklan Ellis from Liverpool prepares for his opening performance. The all-human circus spectacular, owned by Show Directors John Courtney and Stephen Courtney trading as Circus Vegas/American Circus has arrived in SOUTHPORT, the travelling show produced by the famous Uncle Sam's Great American Circus, tours for ten months a year. It is an Irish organisation, but its star-spangled selection of American Kenworth and Peterbilt decorated trucks look the part when they roll into town,
FLEET of American trucks rolled into Southport this week as a taste of Vegas headed into Merseyside. Circus Vegas, American Circus is promising a spectacular all-action family show set up near to Pleasureland. Show Directors are John Courtney and Stephen Courtney trading as Circus Vegas/American Circus. "Circus Vegas has had some major changes since the 2006 study. Between at least 2002 and 2006 this circus used elephants on an annual basis and included sea lions in 2003 and a giraffe in 2005. Most notoriously, in 2006 they had a rhino and a hippo on the show, imported from an Italian circus. By 2007 their animal content had been reduced to some ponies and camels and the occasional use of dogs. 2010 saw the circus just have ponies for children’s rides and during 2011 it left Ireland to tour the UK, which it continued to do in 2012 with ponies for rides in the show’s interval."
