April 7th Prompt

DAY 35 - April 7, 2014: If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?

This prompt caused me a lot of thought. What job or performance would I do in a circus? 
There are many jobs in a circus I'd consider too hard. One would be anything aerial. No flying for me.
I don't qualify for the "freak show" as they were called, but I use that term loosely as some may say I've acted out of the ordinary many times.
I tried to think of skills I have that might translate into a job at a circus. My mind reels, I love to write, cook, and do artwork (that I don't have much talent for).
I've decided the only place I might find a place to work would be the kitchen. They would cook balanced meals. Most of the performers have to maintain carbs for all the activity they do as well as maintaining weight for others.  This balance is something I have some knowledge in as I am in a constant weight battle. Mostly its a losing battle. (Pun intended)
After watching the HBO series Carnavale' I could do the kitchen duty.
