Spoiler: "Business Business Business" is really about People People People. Here are the people bringing this show to life.
WHO THE HECK
Collin Miclon
Writer / Creator / Clown
Collin Miclon is one of the co-creators of the clown exercise, "Business Business Business", the inspiration for this show. He and his sibling, Shane Miclon, have been performing together for over ten years, and have been brothers for even longer. The two literally grew up in their father’s vaudeville style theater in Buckfield, Maine. Collin toured with the Vermont based youth circus “Circus Smirkus” in 2010 & 2011. He's worked with Eepy Bird's Traveling Light, Wondershow Cabaret, and The Burlesque Show in Atlantic City. Collin was the co-head coach at Circus Smirkus camp in 2025, and Jacob Tischler's boss. Now, Jacob is Collin's boss. And Jacob likes it that way.
Shane Miclon
Writer / Juggler
Shane Miclon has been juggling since age five. After high school he began a multi-year mentorship with renowned juggling coach Fritz Grobe. He has performed with companies such as Cirque Mechanics, ABCirque, and was part of the juggling ensemble for multiple runs of the Metropolitan Opera’s production of “Akhnaten”. Shane and Collin fine-tuned their signature style of comedic acro-juggling while circulating throughout New York’s cabaret scene in 2015, performing at venues such as The Slipper Room, Dixon Place, and the House of Yes.
