When a peaceful outdoor moment is cut short by some idiot singling you out to show off their skills in juggling, unicycling or similar.
Mary was enjoying spending a sunny lunchtime on a park bench, with a book & a sandwich until it was circusized by some moron coming over to her by pulling himself on an invisible string then fishing balls out of his stupid beret and juggling. Mary wished they hadn't sited the performing arts centre so close to the park.

Expression meaning that you are so distracted with entertainment and food, that you forget the real problems around the world. Originated in ancient Rome where the government would hand out bread and games (entertainment) so that people would be distracted and wouldn't rebel against the government for political issues.
Me: Did you find out about the huge rebellion that happened the other day?
Other person: No, I was busy cooking dinner and playing board games with my family
Me: Wow! sounds like your life is full of bread and circuses!
