Jamie Adkins is known and loved around the world for his unique brand of acrobatic physical comedy. He began his career at age 13 in San Diego, California, delighting passersby as a street performer. At 22 he joined the Pickle Family Circus and embarked on the life of a full-fledged circus artist, finally following his talent to his adopted homeland, Québec, in the 2000s. Jamie has collaborated worked with some of Canada’s biggest circuses to create shows including Excentricus and Typo. His work puts comedy and interpersonal emotions at the heart of circus performance. The experience of building new and more intimate relationships with audiences motivated him, in 2008, to transition from major productions to creating his own shows, starting with Circus Icognitus and A Fool’s Errand—popular successes that have been presented more than 1,000 times around the world. He has often been compared to Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton, yet the poetic, cartoonesque world he has created over the years is very much his own. Through the prism of Jamie’s teeming imagination, everyday objects become magical and the mundane blossoms into the extraordinary.
