P.T. Barnum
It was on this day, June 2, 1835, that Phineas Taylor Barnum gave his first public performance on Broadway in Niblo's Garden. The entertainment world would never be the same again!
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
