Hi, I've tried a few Google and Ancestry.com searches, I did find a Circus Historical Society you could possibly learn more from:  http://www.circushistory.org/index.htm

They have a discussion board, a search / research function, etc.  Someone there might be able to help.

Could you please provide your great grandfather's name and any dates and locations you might have for him (birth, death)?  That might help to find him in periodicals and any local written history...  Thanks!
