How do you skip text in The Freak Circus?
The Freak Circus runs on the Ren’Py visual-novel engine, so the standard Ren’Py controls apply: hold Ctrl to fast-forward, and use Tab to toggle skip. Skip generally applies to already-seen text by default.

You can usually adjust skip behaviour (skip unseen text on/off) in the in-game Preferences menu.
Pair skipping with manual saves before key choices so you can branch quickly on replays.
