The Art of Harlequin Grim

A multidisciplinary performance artist, Harlequin’s dynamic speed juggling and giraffe unicycle acts are inspired by early 20th century aesthetics and nostalgia for times that never were. He’s been performing in variety, cabaret, and circus productions since getting his start working beneath a former Cirque du Soleil clown.

Also an author, Harley’s bestselling novel The Black Carnival debuted in the autumn of 2025.
