This was shown on HBO back in the 80s maybe 90s not sure. Somehow I remembered this couple years ago and started to remember it on occasion. Wow good to see it again. I remember watching this as a kid

As a kid, I thought this was the funniest thing. As an adult, I can't help but speculate that this dude is really good in bed. 🤣

I saw this live when they played Washington DC (late 80s early 90s?). I seem to recall that the act was just a bit more manic and even more hilarious than just what they showed here. To this day, still the funniest act I've seen.

Amazing!!!! How does he do that?? What is the contraption? I assume its a trampoline of some type.
@tponce8 ай бұрын
I could tell he’s wearing ski boots. Then maybe skis attached to a trampoline? Great question.

My oh my...Pier 39, San Francisco, California, 1988. The best and most magical Cirque du Soleil clown ever. This artist was incredible, what a performer. My stomach hurt for days from laughing so hard. Seeing his performance again brought tears to my eyes. I salute and thank you from the bottom of my heart, wherever you are, Denis Lacombe.

Absolutely! I saw this show in Santa Monica in 1987 (or maybe Jan/Feb 1988). He's one of the best clowns. I worked for CDS back in the earl 2000s. It was a great experience.

Yeah CduS reinvented the circus. Then they went bankrupt and now China is lending them money. Figures. Half the performers are from China.

Like the others below - first saw this in the 1980's, but what's remarkable for us is that I was out for the evening, and one of my daughters happened upon Cirque du Soleil on TV and immediately popped in a blank cassette (VHS) and taped it!

Some of you clearly do not know what traditional clown acts are/were. This is completely brilliant! Many circuses try to hard to be different but one thing that Cirque du Soleil does is keep traditional acts in their shows. This is especially true when it comes to their clowns. They may not always be in traditional attire, but the act itself almost always is.
