circus acts
Big top entertainment
Circus acts are the individual performances that make up a circus show—acrobatics, trapeze, tightrope walking, juggling, animal tricks, clowning.
The term also describes any chaotic or absurdly theatrical display: The meeting devolved into circus acts when the board members started shouting.
Someone performing circus acts may be showing off or creating unnecessary drama.
