Maestro Cirque Du Soleil

[@wallflower15875]

This was my favorite thing to watch as a kid, I'd watch it over and over and die laughing every time

[@ivanhoe6145]

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.

[@DrMarianus]

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.

[@LorenHelgeson]

First saw this as a kid when it premiered on HBO back in the late eighties. These days, any time I hear the 1812 Overture, my thoughts immediately come back to this.

[@ajaarzuaga3001]

My sister and I loved this as a kid in the eighties too. My dad recorded it off HBO cause we loved it so much. This and Muppets in Manhattan....lol

[@jonathantyree8172]

Loren Helgeson exact same for me...a human cartoon.. Reminded me of bugs bunny.. He's fascinating

[@marialara7156]

Same here!

[@yurdp]

This bit was always a standout for me.

[@alpacastan7788]

same! i went to a concert on the 4th where this was played and my mind went vack to this 😂

[@p.bhraonain6363]

The most brilliant clown ever! Merci, monsieur! Un chef d'oeuvre!!!

[@IntelligenceCzar]

i must reiterate what others have said, thank you so much for posting this. i watched this so many times as a child and it has been well over 15 years since i last saw it. such a nostalgia trip. so great.

[@samueldiaz3135]

Been looking for this. I remember from time to time watching it on HBO back in the day 80s or 90s but i remember. Been looking for it and finally found it. I thought he was clown. Some how i found it. Nostalgia i guess

[@samueldiaz3135]

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

[@dorje07]

Super performance du Montréalais Denis Lacombe, qui vit à L.A. depuis de nombreuses années

[@IYHIGJ]

Thank you me and my younger brother use to watch the HBO special.. This takes me back to just being a kid when things were so simple👍🏾😁

[@godzilloid]

The man is a genius. there is nothing more to be said.

[@ladycplum]

This still remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[@tponce]

This was just used as a prank for Bradley Cooper on the Jimmy Fallon show in his “Maestro” promo interview!

[@Hakkai87]

I only wish my conducting class had been as fun as this!

[@wildhoney83]

It's been aaaaaggggess since I've seen this!! I'm so happy right now! lol I love what Cirque has done, truly.

[@autodidacticus]

This is the best act (period) of all time (period), clown or otherwise (period). Thanks SO MUCH for posting this.

[@papacyto]

i was nine years old when I saw it XD and I was looking for this clip a lot a time and I find it , and it is just as I remembered.

[@lindakhandro]

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!

[@jordanrenaud-pq7rx]

BRAVO!! Still the core and spirit of cirque.Still hilarious!

[@dienadel30]

I love muted comedy and not so slap stick I saw it on HBO or something wayyyy back in the day I still laugh !! to this day ! What an amazing performance !

[@dorje07]

Super performance de Denis Lacombe. Montréalais qui vit depuis des années à L.A.

[@Boygonebad]

So great!!!

[@edwardfreytag]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@MexGamer79]

Tanks for upload this video man, I saw it back in te 90s and bring me back good memories, its now in my favorite, thanks so much

[@InweTaralom]

He's the ONLY clown in the world that I like! The man is a freaking genius!

[@HolandaChiquita]

A saw this in 1996 in Montraux. He was a bit older than. Funny to see the difference!

[@TheMiranka]

Fantastic! The most funny musical show I've seen...

[@cableguyify]

I always pictured that the guy that wrote the 1812 symphony would have conducted the finale just like this.

[@alfredzijffers5642]

Bravo Maestro.

[@paulcadogan7033]

Brilliant!

[@dienadel30]

the most amzing bit ever !

[@DeWoodyard]

Gotta wonder who preceded Victor Borge en route to this destination. This performer is inspired, on the path!!

[@LoverOfVenom]

This guy is just hilarious!

[@zartog777]

Wow, that would have been fun for me to have used. That was hilarious!

[@darcybrummett7004]

2:57 Looks around, “What’s so funny.”

[@duggiechester]

Amazing!!!! How does he do that?? What is the contraption? I assume its a trampoline of some type.

[@tponce]

I could tell he’s wearing ski boots. Then maybe skis attached to a trampoline? Great question.

[@karopv]

Funny really funny i like him!!! awesome...

[@GodzillaLover66]

6:21 BURLESQUE!

[@captainsplifford]

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. 🤣

[@ericb3157]

that part where he struggles with the music reminds me of an old Pink Panther cartoon... it's called "pink, plunk, plink".

[@wildhoney83]

This clip? It's a clip of one of Cirque du Soleil's original performances. Cirque was founded in Quebec and, like the description above states, they literally reinvented the circus.

[@fse30]

Does anybody know where to find the first clown act from this show (The mechanical robot clown with the evil, hilarious laugh)?

[@Branbalz]

[@Rose_Bride]

What is the name of the song he 'conducts'?

[@marialara7156]

1812 Overture

[@TedyBere]

Look closely. He is wearing ski boots and when he gets up there he snaps them into the ski bindings.
