A circus is an entertainment or spectacle that typically features human talent and bravery as well as trained animal performances.
The name, which has an origin with the words circle and circumference, calls to mind the particular setting in which this type of entertainment is offered: the ring, a circular performance space typically enclosed by a small fence (or “curb”). Here is a list of circus puns for you.
