Cirque Du Soleil - We Reinverted The Circus

[@Dearest_Kenyetta]

I remember watching this on HBO years ago when I was a little girl.... Forever left an impression on me. I had never seen anything like it before.

[@mombiethezombie7536]

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.

[@Sadyechester]

This is one of my favorite acts for Cirque Du Soleil. Thanks for the post.

[@terrialmore3466]

I love This, wish I could find the whole show for this set😢

[@terrialmore3466]

ME2 🥹

[@yogawithryan8098]

[@Boygonebad]

The bit that made me fall in love with Cirque

[@janfan86]

I remembering seeing this on HBO when I was younger. loved this show :) Thanks for posting.

[@ivanhoe6145]

Forever in my heart, Denis Lacombe, even though you almost killed me from laughing so hard. Merci beaucoup.

[@shwilly]

Thanks for posting this I own the VHS too, but the tape is in a pretty bad shape because I must've seen it like a billion times by now...

[@Sanguasa3]

big act, beautiful, simple and funny, that's amazing!! yeeeeeeaaaaah!!!

[@michaelweymouth1791]

I remember watching this on HBO 30-something years ago.....

[@Dearest_Kenyetta]

So do I! I wish there was a way to watch it again in it's entirety.

[@sasje19995]

the part when he screams WOOOOOOOOW and HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA is AWSOME also the sounds he makes xD

[@joshuajohnson2216]

Yeah also at 4:04 he said "Ta-da!" lol😂😜😆

[@davidreinhardt6956]

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.

[@LuisRivera-vf9pk]

Am I the only person who loves clowns?

[@adolfoduarte8977]

No, you're not :}

[@amdhaegar8406]

Nope I what to be a Clown ^^

[@mombiethezombie7536]

Despite my handle and picture on here, I actually am one. I’ve always loved clowns and the circus. 😊❤️

[@skipbanks4fun1]

No I'm there with ya.THIS GUY IS THE G.O.A.T. OF ALL CLOWNS

[@joeselznick9531]

this thing is amazing fav vid ever

[@alfredzijffers5642]

I love Denis. One of the Best.

[@darcybrummett7004]

Was he the “Mad Mastro”?

[@joshuajohnson2216]

Yup he is

[@chinaSol]

Genius at work

[@Lothriel]

"Yes, it is." It IS more Bouffon than Auguste? That's good to know, especially since I didn't know if those classifications could apply to Character Clowns, as well... "I absolutely and most definitely love clowning...in anyway whatsoever." Um...'kay. Perhaps. Though I have no clue where that defensively competitive comment came from whatsoever. But whatever. M. Lacombe is certainly fantastic. And thanks again, dmcipod, for sharing this with fellow performance-lovers! :)

[@RiftZM]

Denis Lacombe (this one) and John Gilkey (Quidam) were the best clowns on Cirque.

[@khairoolaideed]

i love the clown so crazy

[@Lothriel]

I'm currently discovering my clown, and found this absolutely fascinating. And, yes, rather shocking, almost to point of frightening. The inhuman persistence and energy, (strongly portrayed in the laugh), the grotesque facial expressions, and unbridled glee he brings to rather masochistic undertakings...isn't this more of a bouffon than an Auguste? I'm very knew at this, and am loving it to death, so just wanted to ask out of curiosity. So glad I found this clip! :)

[@skipbanks4fun1]

NEW IS SPELLED NEW............THE K IS NOT NECESSARY. If this freighted you then you should have walked away. There's no need for us who enjoyed this to read about you hatin on this. Just keep your negative thoughts and opinion to your self Shana. Step away from the key boards tiz what you should have done years ago.

[@terrialmore3466]

There was a female contortionist on this particular show, I can’t find a clip of her ❤

[@rasalghul1263]

that act always stuck wit me its crazy how she bends

[@summerrr1]

There are videos of her. Her name is Angela Laurier.

[@collinpribula3270]

i love it!

[@knuckletrain]

Best Clown act ever!!!

[@rondini2]

SAw this and the crazy conductor performed live, bout 28 years ago. It was gut bustingly funny

[@kennethkahn]

Good stuff.

[@charityrochon]

@pierpa1975 Brandon is right, this was one of the origonal Acts, in each show, they will always have a clown act. That way the can cheer up the crowd after them being in awe :P

[@mehielangel]

formidable je suis clowns te je suis fannnnnnnnn

[@skipbanks4fun1]

Is he still performing anywhere ?

[@sorensquiers2633]

Very traditional. Funny but slightly creepy.

[@joshuajohnson2216]

Dennis Lacombe still living?????

[@venusblew]

Does anyone know the name of this guy??? thanks :)

[@joshuajohnson2216]

Dennis Lacombe

[@ihalloway]

still waiting for gag to happen ... 2018 ... its shame lots of clowns have lame gags

[@cesarquirozrivera6530]

Denis la combe.. Bravooo

[@masterDevis]

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is amazingly hilarious! I understand why some people don't like clowns, but I think horror movies need to stop using them as monsters! Seriously, it's shit like that that gives clowns a bad name! Ruins the poor children, too. And don't get me started on the people who dress like clowns and act like total a-holes!

[@jairosantos2008]

Maravilhoso!!!

[@RaphaConrad]

My favorite part!!! 3:30

[@multisofia1000]

Lindo. Estou fazendo exercício de aula prof. Pérsio Silva curso DSP Brazil Kiss🤡❤️

[@stalynntisso9835]

it's lovely ha

[@thebignike1]

very funny i loved it

[@milagresdaprece]

you must be a child to laugh, or have a spirit of a child.

[@beasst94]

you clicked on it - so what does that say for you

[@ematarrita3]

Gosh... FREEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKK!

[@adolfoduarte8977]

...

[@dreamer2anime]

creepy.... but somehow funny

[@mirandastone9061]

Haa is funny is coool

[@magic666z]

I dont get it

[@PitsTasteGood]

and if u didnt laugh...you're probably an accountant

[@beasst94]

denise lacombe

[@franklinvn]

on 1:58 you can hear a kid crying I gues. Maibe he's scared lol. or maibe I'm wrong

[@SycophantFoo]

i agree with deadcurcusclown...very disturbing...yet super funny!!!!

[@skipbanks4fun1]

The only thing disturbing is your opinion of this brilliant act.

[@masterDevis]

@TakeMyHandForever why? horror movies? a-hole in a clown suit? and yeah, I thought he was hilarious! lol

[@DawtaG]

jajajaja tan bien curas jajaja

[@Mickr4]

Clowns creep me out :S

[@Satchel334]

@ThatIsNotMyMama Me too. I agree. This wasn't as good as the conductor act. Clowns with the typical clown make up are lame. Cirque clowns without the make up are cool.

[@maggiestone7982]

Haaaaa it’s so funny haaaa

[@DonReedProductions]

funny extreme

[@joekirk6372]

Scary clown

[@brokeneck]

steve

[@Blibertyblob123]

You gotta admit the laughing is a little creepy.

[@joeselznick9531]

if you think they have serious problems then you have the problems

[@noo2islam]

@98HeartBreaker hahahahahahaha your funny

[@beasst94]

the people of youtube must be really talented if they think they're better than someone who performs for an international circus... but maybe they prefer sex, drugs, and fart jokes

[@DanielBrowne-dz7we]

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

[@rosettamcbride]

funny clown

[@ThatIsNotMyMama]

I liked his conducting act better :|

[@mirandastone9061]

Haa haa

[@SwordOfTheRaven]

this is disturbing i grew up on "IT" so yeah....

[@ricardoluisfornells3434]

Joker 😂

[@pokeman100HP]

in soviet russia clown laughs at you!!!!!

[@venusblew]

Steve what?...liar!

[@jessedollarhyde1270]

we reinvented the circus was not a very good title for this....

[@erisvaldosousa7602]

Muito forçado sem graça

[@erisvaldosousa7602]

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@kanervatie]

More like Circus So Lame..

[@kupferblum64]

it is an example of a horrible clown... I cannot understand, how ethey can dare to post this video under the title: we reinvented the circus! All numbers are old and performed in a violent way, which is not at all clowning! Clowns never want to be funny! They have serious problems!

[@Sandroflyusa]

Sorry, but he is not funny at all!
