Yesterday I went to the circus for the first time since Barnum & Bailey in the early 90s. Or was that the late 80s? Anyway, my latest excursion was to the Syrian Shrine Circus to see a troupe of talented acrobats. There were also well-behaved Bengal tigers (sorry, no lions or bears), head-standing elephants, a goat-cat-dog review, motorcycle riders, hula hoopers, flame jugglers, and a bunch of other circusy-type stuff...including the clowns. I vaguely remember the Barnum & Baily clown acts, but I thought they were centerpieces of the show? These clowns had two small skits, less than 5 minutes each, and were in and out with little fanfare. It seemed...anemic. Here are some pictures from the show.
