to perform professionally in shows?
would they have to be doing what they're doing for years and years and years or could they just start at an older age and work hard?

I did clown gigs in my home town so I just sent out resumes, and letters of interest. I worked for two circuses, then. It is a very dirty life and someof the people (roust-abouts )putting up tents are people wanted by the law. You often cannot get to a shower, and have to bathe out of a bucket of cold water and pour it over your head with a cup. the sleeping quarters are tiny unless you buy your own travel trailer and pay for your own gas.No cable tv, no large wages. I even worked for the "wrolds largest big top" Carson and Barnes. If you go watch a circus in a town, watch the performers go to their nasty sleeping quarters, and see if you can live like that. If so, you can join up as a hired hand with animal care, and tell them you want to learn some act. It's kinda creepie,though. I ran away to join a circus, then I ran away from a circus. You can do some of those nice acts at a nice place in Las vegas, if you have any experience. That is a better route to being a glamorous performer.

That depends on how quickly you learn your act.
I have heard of people performing after just a few months of apprenticeship.
Good luck!

Try-outs are often open in major cities in the US. Keep your eyes and ears open for the next audition.
