So it's all about bigger and better and more.""And my partner, we would always talk about the future. And I would say to him, 'You know, one day I'm going to be a famous clown and I'm going to be touring the world.'"Jimbo says she took inspiration from "old-timey circuses" for the show, and combines that aesthetic with drag.
