When you answer the question, 'What do you do?, with 'We're Circus Arts Performers', there are a lot of follow up questions. I tried to ask as many as I could think of. In this episode of the podcast, Kelsey and Jeremy Philo explain what it is they do, how a giant hula hoop and a unicycle garage find started the whole thing, and they tell me all about their amazing new van that helps them travel from gig to gig.
