The adjetive clause in this sentence is "who is in the circus" since it makes direct reference to the person of whom the main sentence speaks, that is, it gives a description of a quality of the person.

Adjectival clauses replace or substitute adjectives. In most cases, these clauses connect nouns with adjectives through a relative pronoun (in this case it is "who").
