America’s Favorite Comic Daredevil Bello Nock Set to Mesmerize Crowds at Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular

STAMFORD CT – With a repertoire including virtually every major thrill act possible combined with endearing comedy and magical family entertainment, comic daredevil Bello Nock is set to amaze and delight the audience attending the 31st annual Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular on November 24.

The Greatest Showman on Earth, Daredevil, Comedian, Legend, Bello Nock last appeared at the Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular in 2019, and we are thrilled to welcome him back! You may recognize him from one of his many appearances on America’s Got Talent (AGT) or his many years headlining “The Greatest Show on Earth” (RBBB). Bello’s trademark blend of endearing comedy and jaw-dropping daredevil stunts has made him one of the most unique and exciting entertainers in the world today. He has been seen by over 100 million audience members in over 20,000 live performances in over 30 countries across 6 continents, as well as generated millions of views on TV and social media. TIME Magazine included Bello in their list of America’s Best Artists & Entertainers and the Wall Street Journal praised his “brand name level of recognition.”

Bello has captivated millions of fans around the world with daring feats such as walking on countless high wires, scaling buildings, jumping from a helicopter, being shot from a cannon and climbing to the top of sky-high Sway Poles. Bello has a unique ability to make people laugh while simultaneously performing dangerous stunts, pushing limits and raising the bar everywhere he goes, providing “…belly laughs and genuine gasps!” according to The New York Times. 

Described by the NY Daily News as “arguably the greatest athlete ever to set foot in Madison Square Garden,” and featured in the Guinness Book of World Records, Bello will also be performing parts of his riveting act at the Balloon Inflation Party on Saturday, November 23.
