Peggy earned a BFA in Theater from Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she won the Irene Ryan Acting Award for Region II. She also earned a Bachelor of Funny Arts degree from the Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Clown College. She spent a year with the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble performing various stage roles before she joined the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus as a clown touring the US for 2 years. For the next 8 years she toured the US, Europe, Scandinavia and made appearances at the International Festival du Cirque du Monte Carlo with her partner Johnny Peers and their 24 mutts in their comedy dog act. There they won the Monte Carlo Television and Emmanuel Bellini Clown Awards. Next Peggy began working shipboard for Royal Caribbean International with the team that created the Krooze Komics program for their Voyager class ships. As the first of its kind in the cruise industry, the Krooze Komic program incorporates slapstick, juggling, improvisation, stilt walking and sketch comedy to entertain the on-board guests. Relocating to Miami allowed her to join the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Team at Miami Children’s Hospital as Doctor Éclair when she wasn’t at sea. Peggy has also worked with the New York Goofs Improv troupe, the Seaside Clowns and entertains at corporate events, fairs and festivals.
