He has since performed at internationally televised events including the Commonwealth Games and Rugby World Cup as well as performing alongside some of the world’s best known DJ’s including Sigala and Martin Jensen as a resident aerialist and fire performer at Australia’s most prestigious nightclub, Pacha at the Ivy Lounge. In Australia he started his own agency, Strongman Circus Entertainment. During this time he also studied dance at Lee Academy under the tutelage of Joleen Cotterill and had several TV appearances, headlining cabarets across New Zealand, Australia and a season as the closing act for Circo Roberts in Mexico. Mitchell has also been sought out as talent for several television appearances and advertisements including the BBC’s Midsommer Murders. In 2017 Mitchell was nominated “Best Ringmaster” and “Top Male Artist” in the 2017 Australian Circus Awards and was the headline act for the New Zealand Circus and Juggling Festival 2018.
