BELLO NOCK

Sarasota’s Favorite Comedic Daredevil

Comes to The Ringling

This summer promises to be a hair-raising event when Feld Entertainment brings Bello Nock back to the Sarasota stage. Bello, the world-renowned, gravity-defying comedic daredevil with the unmistakable foot-high hair, returns to his hometown to engage audiences with his lovable personality, trademark humor, and playful antics.

“This year marks Feld Entertainment’s 50th anniversary for making family memories, and we wanted to celebrate the occasion through our partnership with The Ringling. What better way than to bring laughter and thrills from a hometown favorite to our local community,” said Alana Feld, Executive Vice President of Feld Entertainment, Inc.

Named “America’s Best Clown” by TIME Magazine, Bello wowed millions while headlining in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey productions from 2000 – 2008. Presenting Bello in the intimate setting of the Historic Asolo Theater gives audiences a unique opportunity to be in the center of the action. Experience an up-close view of his amazing feats, mystifying magic and high-wire hijinks from any seat in the house.

Bello, a seventh generation circus performer, will be joined onstage by his daughter, Annaliese Nock, an outstanding talent in her own right. She recently set a Guinness World Record by becoming the first and only female to complete four somersaults in the Wheel of Wonder in less than 60 seconds!

This limited engagement is a must-see event—sure to amaze audiences this summer.
