Most people responding were understanding with Toni Spence praising the show she attended the previous week.

“Hopefully it dries quickly, I took my son to see you guys on Thursday, it was an amazing show that my son and I thoroughly enjoyed,” Ms Spence said.

“Everyone was so friendly and the performers were amazing,” she said.

Bree Johnson was sad to hear about the flooding and hoped one of the clowns was safe.

“I hope Goldie the clown is safe and he is not on the flooded roads driving his car,” she said.

Last year the circus celebrated its 10th Anniversary with a 20-town tour and performed 313 shows across Queensland and New South Wales.
