Jesse Highley is an award-winning writer, director, actor and clown. On stage, he first appeared as a Christmas tree in his kindergarten's holiday extravaganza. He went on to attended the University of Central Missouri where he studied music and theatre. His professional career began portraying the roles of Prince Charming, Prince Philip and Snow White's Prince for many different shows and parades throughout the Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disney Resorts. After serving as the arm candy for every major Disney princess throughout the Magic Kingdom, Jesse decided to make his childhood dream of running away and joining the circus a reality. He toured the country as a professional clown on both the Red and Blue Units of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. Following a 3-year run with "The Greatest Show On Earth", Jesse bounced between performing improvisational sketch comedy with the Longshoremen's Unaffiliated Group at Sea World Orlando and singing and dancing in Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue as Dracula at Universal Orlando Resort. Wanting to see the world but not having enough money to do so on his own, he left the comforts of land in exchange for his sea legs, performing as a singing comedian within Holland America Line's Showroom At Sea. Returning to shore, Jesse originated the role of Buzz Lightyear in both the national and international touring companies of Disney Live! Rockin' Road Show. Upon making the move to Sin City, Jesse was cast as Joey Vitale in the long running Las Vegas Company of the Off-Broadway hit, Tony n' Tina's Wedding. He simultaneously covered the role of Zenoch, owner, proprietor and host of Club Z, in the dead sexy comedy musical, Zombie Burlesque. No stranger to juggling multiple shows at once, Jesse played a 5-year run as Emcee to Channing Tatum's Magic Mike Live where he also covered the role of the Jester in Tournament of Kings. In addition, he toured the world as Dash in Aga-Boom, a show that enjoyed a successful Off-Broadway run at The New Victory Theater. Performing with Cirque du Soleil as a hilarious member of the SPIT-acular Human Fountains, he headlined America's Got Talent Presents Superstars Live before taking the act off-Broadway to star as New Yorkah Rat in Big Apple Circus' Hometown Playground.
