TOPHER BOUSQUET

Entertainment Guest

Topher Bousquet is a multi-talented contortionist, hooper, and handbalancer. A graduate of the New England Center for Circus Arts, he has spent over a decade dazzling audiences on stage and screen—most notably portraying the eerie “Canker Man” in Mike Flanagan’s film Before I Wake, now streaming on Netflix. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Topher has called NYC home since 2009, embracing the city’s vibrant performing arts scene. When he’s not bending into pretzel-like shapes on stage, he’s an aspiring paleontologist working toward his first degree, fueled by a playful, nerdy love of dinosaurs. Topher also coaches contortion, sharing his expertise and passion with the next generation of circus artists.
