No animals?
No clowns?
No freak show?
No fun...

I was at the "last" Circus with my grandparents at the Coliseum... most of the animals were gone at taht point too... they had a few like dog tricks... <_<
But they could easily do the show they had without animals...

I dunno... Call me old fashioned, but a Circus without animals is like an Amusement Park or County Fair without rides.
Why the hell would you even bother? Worst summer vacation ever.

Without the animals and freaks all that's left is the cotton candy and drugs... which may be the same thing.

Sorry, the travelling circus is anachronistic. Just let it die.
A lot of old forms of entertainment die when new ones come up, society standards change and technology advances.
It’s as dead as Roman era gladiator shows, those creepy town square puppet shows, and public executions.

So basically Cirque du Soleil, but less trippy?

I mean the Ringling Bros last circus did have a bunch of acts but there was a throughline story connecting them.

I'd have thought maybe it would be due to Greatest Showman and Dumbo reviving interest in circuses, but A. it's been a few years, and B. did they, really?
Guess we'll see if this is going to be yet another failure.

Ever seen Bailey Sarain's video on the circus? I knew the history was jacked up, but sweet Georgia Brown!

They should have the clowns double as strippers. That will get the ticket sales to go up.

It is Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth.
You always refer to it by its complete name. This is what years of listening to Penn Jillette’s podcast has taught me.

Yeah, but it kinda seemed to want it both ways, romanticizing it a bit but also yes, seedy. |
