I Joined A Traveling Circus

Michelle is literally like Barbie she knows how to do every job possible

Her resume is a 500 page essay

i used to jokingly say that i should just run away and join the circus but now i’m thinking i really should. Such incredible performers

I cried so hard when that girl missed her triple flip. The people at the circus are so talented and I’m so happy Michelle gave us a glimpse into that world. I’ve never once thought about the art form and athleticism that’s needed to be in the circus. They’re so cool. This video was awesome! Wiping my tears now lol

people don't really understand the circus but you showed it off very well. It's about unlocking the feeling of wonder that we hardly ever get anymore

I am a youth circus performer and seeing you putting yourself out there and not being afraid to fail inspires me so much. I actually have a performance tommorow lol.

Her having Matthew Mercer narrate is so amazing!! I'm loving that!! ❤️

I work (behind the scenes) for Cirque du Soleil, and doing the same thing day in and day out can quickly become a slog, just like any other job. I needed to find this video when I did to remind myself why I do what I do. To see the magic again through someone else's lens gets me excited again. Thank you, Michelle, and well done (also, I used to work at KA and never heard the story Jonathan told. I'm gonna have to ask around about it).

As someone who went to a circus school until I was 16, I can confirm it's really about finding that one spark that tells you "That's my act"

I love that Michelle enters each 'Challenge Accepted!' with indomitable enthusiasm. It's also been interesting to see the challenges get more baroque and terrifying. Having said that, this is the first time I've seen Michelle stand wide-eyed and open mouthed in fear. And the she just freakin' did it!

I honestly love her confidence when performing, especially because it's her first time and she has enough confidence to even do stuff like this

for her first performance it was amazing seeing everyone be so happy and proud of her, i mean that happens in every challenge accepted video but it’s amazing to watch her perform through anxiety and fear and never show it. michelle is an incredible human and i hope to one day be able to say eff off to all my fear

as a youth troupe circus performer and a long time fan of Michelle, I cannot believe this video finally happened. I was a especially happy to see flying trapeze as it was one of the first things I ever did in circus. I literally cried the first time I got up there from a fear of heights, but now I’m still doing this two years later. Circus really is magical. And to Michelle, if you ever see this, you are a huge inspiration for me and I thank you so so much for doing all of this and showing the beauty of circus. ❤

The circus is a hard working and talented community that just wants to be respected. This challenge accepted was a real treat Michelle! 🎪

26:55 I loved how it went from a heartfelt moment to people playing ping pong

Dude, I am 36 and I am crying. I have been traveling around the world for the past 7 years doing photography, volunteering, and learning about culture and people. In the last 1–2 years, I have questioned myself a lot and been looking for my purpose and sense of what I am doing. This video triggered me so much to believe in myself, explore, try the unknown, and keep going to meet the most amazing and inspiring people. Thank you for that video. Self-expression combined with love and people is what life is about. ❤

the editing in this episode was truly phenomenal- the cut from the national anthem to the ping pong game was so cool

I couldn’t have loved this more! As a trapeze instructor who has trained over 10,000 people to fly on the trapeze and had Channing Tatum play me in a film about my teaching, I can only tell you that the Trapeze isn’t about holding on, it’s about letting go of what keeps you from flying. Stress, tension, fear, control issues, etc. Once you let go of what is holding you back in life, you’re free to soar! Congratulations on yet another great video!

I can’t believe how much Michelle Khare has done and how many challenges she overcame she is a really great person😊

This is wanting me to join the circus now bc of the great community of people and for them to allow Michelle to join their family was so sweet to see and know that ever one of them got her back just seems so amazing ❤️
