This comedy circus of two (“small on performers, large on laughs”) presents the perfect combination of circus, theater and vaudeville for audience members of all ages. Unpredictable thrills, sidesplitting antics and daredevil stunts are the signature style of this duo from Montreal. Jean Saucier is the straight man, as well as unicyclist, stuntman, and juggler, while Lawrence Smythe is the rubber-faced prankster and clown who describes the act as “Monty Python meets Cirque du Soleil.” As a child in Montreal, Saucier was sufficiently inspired by telecasts of European circus shows to purchase his first unicycle; Smythe drew his early impetus from such classic artists as Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Carol Burnett. A wonderfully funny show for the entire family!
