Travelling company of acrobats and clowns (6)

I believe the answer is:

circus

(Other definitions for circus that I've seen before include "Open-air stadium of antiquity" , "Trvelling company of entertainers, usually with animals" , "Roman sporting arena" , "(Show in) big top" , "Performances in ring" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
