Circus Royale is an Australian circus owned and operated by Damian Syred, who acquired the circus in 2007. The show is a traditional type circus with traditional acts such as aerial acts and juggling, as well as some magic.
The circus was founded in 1971, by the Gasser Family. Syred bought the circus from Frank and Manuela Gasser in 2007.
While the circus was at Broome in 2013, Cows, camels, llamas, horses and donkeys escaped from their enclosures briefly, "as onlookers watched with amusement".
During the COVID 19 Pandemic, in 2020, the circus was unable to leave Victoria from March of that year, due to lockdowns. 22 of the circus's international staff were unable to return home, and ineligible for government support and the circus turned to crowdfunding.
In 2021, the Circus Royal Australia Pty Ltd plead guilty to employing children without the mandatory permit, after one of the three 13-year old Chinese children employed by the circus spent 10 days in hospital due to injuries the child sustained from a trapeze. The company was not convicted, after the judge noted the lack of prior offences, and 'good character', however a fine of $21 000 AUD was applied.
