No elephants, no lions, no tigers, no horses, not even a dog act. NO CLOWNS! Great acrobatic performances and lots and lots of very loud, very bad music (25% of the entire show).
I saw the circus train sitting in the yard at Grand Rapids, MI several years ago. The circus still traveled by train. Unbelievable that occured as long as it did.
You didn’t find one in a storm drain by any chance did you......?
😆😬🤣😅😄😜
They were here in Pittsburgh last weekend, I have an 8 year old and debated taking her, but really wasn’t sure what it would entail.. Used to be an annual event before they shut down.
But if they got rid of all the animals, it really does leave one scratching what is left.
Trapeze artists, high wire, the motorcycle death ball stuff... clowns.... human cannonball, etc.. but I mean the animal acts were easily half the show... before.
“And the trapeze guys are all high on cocaine
That they bought from a guy that used to drive the train”
Clowns just creeped me out as a kid.
Even clowns like Bozo and others.
The ‘Emmett Kelly’ type clowns, dressed like bums, weren’t as bad, though. Just the outrageous circus types with orange hair and huge clown shoes and bulbous noses...........
I only know Eric the Clown 🤡.
FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Time to bring back the freak show.”
It just moved from the carnival wagons to the TV and internet.
While employed by us, he also ran a clown college and had a clown supply business....
No Clowns! I’d been taking children and grandchildren for 35 years. I was glad to see it back. I took 8 grandkids. I wish I had not.
If you go to cirque du soleil and sit in the front row it is not much different.
The difference is that the women are in top physical condition and wearing virtually no clothing. The clothing they wear is skin tight too.
No Clowns??
How they heck do you have a circus with no clowns? No animal acts is weird enough, but how do you say its a circus with no clowns?
I am old enough to remember their last under-the-bigtop tour.
My four year grandson’s sentiments as well.
Irony of ironies. The circus has become even more of a clown show by getting rid of the clowns (and basically everything else that made the circus a circus).
Most of congress should be side show geeks. That’s about all they’re qualified to do.
Oh, boo! My parents used to take me to this circus all through childhood.
I won’t miss the friggin clowns,.
Clown phobia is the norm in my clan. We don’t even tolerate mall Santas.
