Le Cirque de JP is a French circus and magic act based in Auckland, with an address in Orewa on Grand Drive. JP is a circus artist, magician, clown and comedian, and the shows take the form of a French-flavoured cabaret performed in person at a party or event. He has spent about 25 years performing internationally, and the website lists him as having trained at the French Circus School.
He offers kids parties and kids workshops, adult parties, balloon art, close-up magic, roving entertainment, and corporate and team-building shows. Circus and balloon workshops are also on the list. The acts include glow juggling, fire performances and an eight-rings illusion, and the show can be tailored to the crowd, from a small party to a large corporate event.
Parents and party hosts say the show keeps children and adults laughing for close to an hour, even with a group of more than 100, and that it is a good fit for mixed-age events. One reviewer found the adult humour quite risqué, so it suits adult functions more than younger crowds. Several people say JP is their first choice when they book a performer for a party.
