Funny Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day, folk!

Valentine's Day can be a low time of year for some people, but imagine being a clown looking for love. With all the coulrophobia out there, it must be tough out there for a lonely hearted clown.

The good news is, there is hope! And by hope, I mean clown dating sites. Yup, apparently that's a thing. So much so, that there is more than one.

Everyone loves a clown. Why not let a clown love you?

I believe the words you're looking for are "Holy mother of hot diggity damn!"

Blast from the Past II

On a slightly different Old School note, and perhaps one for a very specific audience, here is a fun little video from back in the good old days of the National Circus School of Montreal when it was still located in the Old Port.

AHHHHHHH!

Epic Split

I came across this a w days ago. If you haven't seen it yet, you should watch it now. If you've seen it already, I say watch it again!

And in case you missed it, here's Volvo's equally badass Ballerina Stunt.

Some Days I Hate to Go to Work

Sweet Dreams?

What would you do if you walked into a store and discovered a picture of yourself on some weird ass product?

That recently happened to a friend of mine when he discovered that a photo of himself performing had been emblazoned onto bedsheets.

Tired of the Sesame Street bedsheets you've had since you were a kid? The Acrobat On Stage Bedding covers a wide range of bedding possibilities! Duvet covers, comforters, top sheets, and fitted sheets! All with the faceless and infuriatingly off centered image of my friend!

Seriously though, it's super weird and creepy.

But if you'd like to drop close to $150 on a sheet, please, be my guest.

Mario Bros. Parkour

That's right, I said Mario Bros. Parkour. The only thing I can add to that statement is watch it. Watch it now!

Now THAT'S an Elephant Act!

Blast from the Past

Here is some wonderful footage from a news broadcast about German wheel from 60 years ago! At the end of the clip there is also an appearance by the original *ahem* “cyr” wheel. Enjoy!

Easy Peasy

Any time I come across photos like this, I can't help but question my legitimacy as a circus artist...

Beyond Kawaii

If you're anything like me, there is a severe lack of dinosaurs doing German wheel in your life. Fortunately, the Japanese seem to be getting the situation under control.

You Could Say These Artists Are Nuts

Seeing as I consider the squirrel to be my totem animal, this is pretty apt.

Well Said

In other news, my back is trying to kill me again.
