Most kids growing up dream of running away to the circus. For Lorenzo Pisoni, growing up as the golden child in the cult classic comedy troupe, The Pickle Family Circus, all he wanted to do was run away from it. But when your father is the head clown in charge, and you’re expected to follow in his oversized footsteps, your relationship is bound to get complicated.

Circus Kid delves deep into the past to learn more about the family circus, and the legends and tragedies that grew out of it. But most notably, it follows Lorenzo Pisoni as he reconnects with his father, Larry, to try and get a better understanding of what was going on behind the laughs, and solve some of the mysteries of his father’s epic life that have gone unanswered for the past twenty years.
