Co-founded by Keith Nelson and Sephanie Monseu, Bindlestiff Family Cirkus presented their first performance in Brooklyn in 1995. Since then, more than a thousand artists have worked with the company, including musicians, comedians, actors, clowns, dancers, novelty acts, circus performers, and sideshow acts.
