[5e] Heavy RP circus / assassination campaign looking for players

You will be joining a circus, which you will soon learn that soonafter doubles as a front for a group of assassins. Both parts are equally as important, as the leader of the troope, a goblin by the name of Dagobert, has a love for performance... but also a love for violence. The campaign will be very RP heavy. When I say very I mean VERY. All of the players talk in first person with accents and are a ton of fun, I play my NPCs the same way of course. This kind of RP is the bread and butter of the way I DM and the games I seek. You can expect about 80% RP / 20% combat. Meaningful combats should be exciting, somewhat rare, and most importantly - interesting. Combats that are part of side quests or random encounters will be quick and not drawn out, typically. I favor reducing enemy HP / AC in favor of making them hit a bit harder, so expect the world to be a bit more scary as a result. Right now we have a Warlock illusionist, Divination/oracle Cleric and Grappling fighter. There are a lot of roles the circus is still looking to fill, mostly involving sword swallowing and having cinder blocks smashed over your chest as you lay on a bed of nails, someone with a high CON and pain tolerance preferred. Also looking for someone who can work with animals. Think hard about what you can contribute to the circus, and how your unique qualities that make you fit into a circus can also allow you to contribute something valuable to the assassination side of the business. We are two sessions deep and you would be starting at level 3. tuesday at 9pm est one final note: these sessions will go onto a youtube channel with a decent amount of subs so you'd have to be alright with that, too
You may wish to state day and time to make things easier.

I would be very interested in this, I currently have an idea for a halfing ranger character that wanted to be an actor but failed at it. So this would be fun to play in. With the new unearthed arcana ranger revise ranger beastmasters can give their animals skill prof so dancing bear circus maybe? 
I might be interested. Hit me up on Discord. Shaolin Fantastic#8261 I was thinking about a twisted bard. I could do something in the circus like playing music and having animals react like they are controlled by my music. Probably do one of the smaller races and play a kind of manic genius type character. These are my favorite types of games with more RP and quick dangerous exciting combat. Just a little teaser of what my character would kind of look like and act like. 
I'd love to play a more heavy RP game, lately my groups have been pretty light on RP unfortunately. I'd be interested in working with folks to tell some fun stories.
I'm alright with it being some Heavy RP! Would be a good opportunity to work on my voice when it comes to acting. My Username on Discord is Dardarus#2225, so feel free to message me if you need more people on your bandwagon! I'm thinking maybe a fire mage that turns out to be a Pyromaniac? In the Circus, he'd be juggling and spewing fire torches (And would set things on fire to woo the crowd) but his more insane side comes out when he's off stage and 'on the job' with assasinations. Under stress and intense situations, he's likely to break and just start throwing fireballs to solve his problems. I could see him also being a klepto, just for the sake of finding stuff to burn/melt when he's bored.
