English: Joe Jackson Sr. (
1873 –
1942) was born as
Joseph Francis Jiranek in
Vienna,
Austria. He was Austrian
cycling champion, and a member of a world champion
bicycle polo team before he became an
entertainer. He started with a serious bike riding act, and then developed it into a
comedy break. Preferring intimate settings, Jackson worked almost exclusively in
Vaudeville and
European one-ring circuses. His act took him to
England, the European Continent,
Russia,
Siberia,
Turkey, and most of
the United States. He encouraged
his son to take over the act and it was performed by either father or son for over 100 years. Following a performance at
New York's Roxy Theater, he took several curtain calls, and then died in the wings. He was inducted into
the International Clown Hall of Fame in
1994.
