To us Americans, Europe can seem the Promised Land for all things circus, clown, and variety theatre. Some of my quests there for the holy grail of physical comedy have ended in disappointment, but this fall I managed to put together, between teaching engagements, a long weekend encompassing Paris, Budapest, and Vienna that was as marvelously circus-rific as you can get. A few notes, photos, and videos:

The free live broadcasts of Christopher Lueck’s Clown Summit interviews, which I wrote about here, have come and gone, but not to worry — you can now purchase a permanent copy. It’s $17 to download all the mp3s, or $37 for a complete set of CDs. Well worth checking out!
These look great, especially that last one!
An excerpt from the full-length show, introduced by Angela Lansbury. Great stuff, even if they lost out to Wendy Wasserstein’s The Heidi Chronicles. Thanks to Jango Edwards for the link.
Greetings from Barcelona, I mean Barthelona, by many reports the coolest city in Europe. And arguably cooler now that it is the home of the b>Nouveau Clown Institute, an international clown school started just this past year by Jango Edwards, who is amazingly energetic for someone who may or may not be as old as me. I’m running away from administration and he’s starting a school. Go figure.
