Without circuses, trapeze artists would have to go back to their drab day jobs as action-movie stunt person. Keep hard-working entertainers from dull office work with today's Groupon: for $20, you get two tickets to the Shrine Circus on Friday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. at The Cincinnati Gardens (up to a $44 value).

Now in its 90th year under the big top, the Syrian Shrine Circus entertains audiences with whimsical animals and death-defying trapeze artists. Animal attractions featuring tigers and elephants showcase the animal kingdom's most talented performers, and the Shrine Circus clowns deliver informative lectures on the density of a Volkswagen Beetle.
