At the age of 12 , Chris Allison, a.k.a. "Bucky The Clown" took a trip to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus that would change his life forever.  Leaving the circus wide eyed and and in a sugar induced daze, Chris decided then that he would grow up and become a clown with the Greatest Show On Earth®.   After graduating from the RBBB Clown College with a major in pie throwing and a minor in pratfalls, Chris spent the next eleven years touring with the circus, the final three years as the Boss Clown. Since leaving the show Chris has performed in Hong Kong, Sweden, Finland and numerous venues around the United States. 

If you are saying "Hey that clown looks familiar..." maybe that's because you saw him on MTV's Road Rules, MTV'S ODDVILLE, Natalie Merchants music video for her hit song "Kind and Generous", Letterman, Oprah, The Today Show, Emeril Live, Comedy Centrals Strangers with Candy and most recently a television commercial for the National Basketball Association. 

Today Chris keeps busy clowning with the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit®, performing his solo shows and performing his duo show with partner GIGI.

 Being a dancer for the Greatest Show on Earth® was a pretty cool job but during those two years it was the clowns Gina kept watching with envy.  The clowns looked like they were having a lot more fun than she was.... and that's 'cause they were.  At the circus the clowns seemed to have the best job.... heck, where else could you look for trouble and gain the applause and affection from audiences around the world!!

After attending The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in 1988 Gina eagerly accepted an invitation to join The Greatest Show On Earth® for the career of a lifetime.

After clowning for 9 years with Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus, Gina decided to keep her big ol' clown feet in one spot.

Clowning away from the circus is an incredible fun filled whirlwind of a ride.  Having the opportunity to perform around the globe has become a dream come true for this funster and now she is ready to conquer  the Northeast as GIGI!

Late Night with David Letterman, Tivoli Gardens in Japan, The Today Show with Willard Scott, MTV's Road Rules, Ocean Park in Hong Kong, Silja Scandinavia Cruise Lines and several appearances at the White House are just a few of the career highlights for this mirth maker.
