Mimo Seedler is in the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus!

How many people on the forum already knew that Mimo Seedler is an extreme unicycling performer in the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus?

I had no idea! I think it’s great! What do you all think?

I had no idea …what the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus was.
I‘m not really surprised to see Mimo taking advantage of his skills to earn some money. I was really surprised to see him wearing a helmet, though. I guess it has something to do with insurance.
Anyway, wish him many great shows; I‘m sure the audience will be thrilled.

He’s incredible! If you don’t follow him on social media or YouTube…you should.

I think even longer. At the last Unicon in Minnesota (summer 2024), he only came a few days near the end, as he was working there when the circus was in Dallas (I know as he needed a ride out one day early, and he rode with me to the airport). He’s a great rider and also a quite nice and interesting person too.

You’re right, he started 2024, Wesley Williams also.

I watched the act with both Mimo and Wesley performing together (or rather, at the same time) in Fall 2024. Wesley did well, riding at least 4 different giraffes during the show, clowning with some other performers, and presenting his own act in the middle of the show.

Mimo did not appear particularly impressive, as he was essentially a supporting artist complementing high flying BMXers and a trials rider. While Mimo did show a trick or two that only a few unicyclists can perform, the audience’s attention was divided among 6–7 performers leaving little opportunity to fully appreciate their difficulty or uniqueness.

I would love to see KCT return to the show. I imagine that a KCT act would allow Mimo to better demonstrate his skills to the audience as well.

Interesting! Thanks for letting us know. I can surely see how Mimo’s riding could be underappreciated in a setting like that.
