I was referred to Cirque Quirk by another coordinator and am so glad I found them! From the beginning Nathaniel was very timely with his responses. They had a jazz/show tune style singer for Cocktail Hour and an assortment of performances (aerial dancers, duo trapeze, rolling globe, hand balancing, stilt juggler, Chinese pole, etc.) during dinner that lasted about an hour.

Communication was thorough and quick. Pricing was better than the three other companies I checked out and Nathaniel was enjoyable to work with…so added perk! :)
Our performer had SO many types are of fire acts he could delight us with, some that I had never heard of before. He had a wonderful performance outfit on and was professional from start to finish. He worked with me on timing and location of the different acts. He was well versed in fire safety, which he made sure to practice after a particularly wild fire breathing performance. I mean..no part of the experience left me wanting.

Cirque Quirk - Nathaniel and his team were fabulous! We hired them to perform for our employee appreciation party this year. The performers showed up on time and begin performing immediately. They were professional and welcoming to our guests and well received. I recommend Cirque Quirk and will use them again.

I first saw Nathaniel perform on his stilts at an event and my family just loved him. He was funny, charismatic and talented in his stilts. So when it came time to hire entertainment for an event I emailed him
immediately to see what we could book. Nathaniel was very professional, accommodating, and easy to work with. He responded to communication very quickly. The juggler we ended up using from Cirque Quirk, Brandon, was so personable and fun. The families at our event loved him and said he was the best part. I highly recommend Cirque Quirk.

We hired Cirque Quirk to perform as stilt walkers at the annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival Oct 9-10, 2021. They worked both days. They took the time to understand the festival beforehand. Asked appropriate questions to know what was expected and desired. They promptly provided all necessary paperwork and told us of their needs. They arrived promptly to the festival. They met all our expectations. Our event is family friendly and they engaged with ALL attendees (adults, children, artists, vendors). They really added something extra to the festival. In fact, I found many of our attendees posted

HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!!
We hired Nathaniel from Cirque Quirk for a 5hr day of ambient juggling at our event of over 1400 people in attendance.
He arrived ahead of time to get a feel for the event and was in full carnival attire when he was ready to perform. Nathaniel juggled balls, pins, and even knives!!
He left many impressed with his amazing juggling skills and charisma. Nathaniel also taught juggling basics to anyone who was interested in learning, from kids to young adults!
We enjoyed his performance so much that we even requested him to stay for an additional 2hrs for an extra fee and he

Nathaniel is one the most professional individuals I have ever met. His passion and love for the performing arts are impeccable. We hired their 3 robots as a surprise for my Goddaughter's Sweet 16 and there were complete hit. They moved and danced smoothly, managing the robots like the professionals they are. My upmost respect for the quality of work they presented. We received so many compliments and thumbs up for their show. With robots being a thing now, your guest can tell the difference when it comes to quality of costumes and performance. You made us look good :D Thank you so much!

Nathaniel was fantastic! As a planner, you always want vendors to impress, and we all CERTAINLY were. His LED stilt costume was larger than life and he can dance better than I can with normally-sized legs. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for something unique to level up your party and give your guests something to talk about for years to come.

Nathaniel is incredible. Our drive-by birthday party for our 7-year-old ended up becoming a driveway and front yard socially distanced party. Nathaniel adapted without hesitation and started with a juggling show then changed into stilt walking. While on stilts he played "Simon says" with the kids, raced them up the street and then backwards back down the street, and so much more! The kids remained so engaged and happy that the guests ended staying for 2 hours rather than just "dropping by". Parents said it was a great party and the best pandemic party they'd been to!

I have had the pleasure of booking Cirque Quirk twice for private fundraising events here in Palm Springs, CA. Nathaniel provided a series of preliminary entertainment options to consider; everything from juggling and stilt-walking, to fire-breathing and his AMAZING body robots. We received incredibly high praise for booking Cirque Quirk by those who came to the fundraisers, and asked specifically to be sure he and his crew be invited to all future events.
Adults and children alike are going to get an incredible thrill out of them.
HIGHLY recommend Nathaniel and the whole team over at Cirque

We had Nathaniel Allenby from Cirque Quirk come to Julian to talk to a Theater Workshop Group ages 8 to 78. He was a outstanding!!! He talked about his profession, had fun stories, pictures and videos, talked about how important safety is, brought examples of stilts, performed juggling and delighted all! Can't wait to see Cirque Quirk in action! Look forward to working with him again!

Nathaniel from Cirque Quirk is outstanding. We had a party for our AOL scouts that crossed over to Boy Scouts and he found the perfect fire dancer for us. The Boy Scouts of America banned the Native American ceremony we normally have for AOL scouts. I was devastated because these scouts looked forward to this ceremony for 5 years. We were determined to make it special for them anyway. Nathaniel is an Eagle Scout and he wanted to help. He was quick to reply to my emails, and found Jeska with Circus farm to perform. We had a limited budget and I was searching everywhere and found nothing. If it wasn

Cirque Quirk is nothing short of magnificent!! I have had the pleasure of watching them live at various venues and events throughout San Diego, including the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. I have seen what can only be described as inhumanly impossible acts of fire juggling, balancing, hooping, dancing, clowning and much more. I have even inadvertently witnessed Nathaniel performing a fire-breathing act on stilts at a very well known arts event in northern Nevada. Every act is composed with exciting and bold choreography, refreshing talent, and will no doubt leave you in awe. The founder is one

Miss Alissa Rose, the Hula Hoop and Fire Acrobat performed at our Summer Luau. She was absolutely mesmerizing. The crowd was captivated and in awe as she spun one, two and even three LED Hula Hoops, all synchronized to awesome music. THEN came her Fire Fans and Fire Hoops. Oh my goodness what a show! Her skills were hypnotizing and near perfection. Miss Alissa was sweet, endearing and just melted the group and what a darling young talent. So much thanks and gratitude to Nathaniel at Cirque Quirk for his personalized service, professionalism and ability to "make it happen". I'd use Cirque Quirk

Cirque Quirk is a wonderful entertainment company to work with. Their presentation and performance is of the highest caliber. The customer service received was wonderful.
Nathaniel, personally helped me provide the perfect entertainment for my 1 year old nephew's birthday party. I was asked to find entertainment that both children and parents would love and something the kids would think is fun. I was a bit stressed upon calling him, but Nathaniel's professionalism and experience, got me through this very important task with flying colors.

6 Stars!!! My company hosted a 300 guest, circus-themed, holiday party. A month later, guests are still talking about it. There are only a few companies in town that offer circus entertainment. I contacted them all and EASILY decided on Cirque Quirk. Best service, value and selection of talent. Nathaniel was great to work with. Responded almost instantly to every email and phone call. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful. Honestly, he's the best in town.

We hired Nathaniel for our daughter'a 12th birthday and he made it special! We went overboard with the invites and had over 100 people show up to celebrate. Since our daughter was going in for spinal fusion surgery a week later, the extreme fun and supportive attitude of Cirque Quirk was just what the doctor ordered. We kept in touch with Nathan after the event and plan to invite him back for our youngest daughter's 10th birthday! I bet he takes it up a notch since you can tell he loves what he does.

I've seen Cirque Quirk (Nathaniel) perform a few different gigs and he's so entertaining & talented!!! Most impressive was seeing him in costume while performing in jumping stilts. He doesn't just jump in them, he runs, jumps crazy high to do tricks and dances in them too, all while playing whatever character he's dressed up as. He does his own character make up as well. My friends and I saw him showcased at the OC Fair and his gig was the highlight of our day. There were other performances and acts and Nathaniel was simply outstanding. We were laughing and running to
