Maestro Cirque Du Soleil 

This was my favorite thing to watch as a kid, I'd watch it over and over and die laughing every time

My oh my...Pier 39, San Francisco, California, 1988. The best and most magical Cirque du Soleil clown ever. This artist was incredible, what a performer. My stomach hurt for days from laughing so hard. Seeing his performance again brought tears to my eyes. I salute and thank you from the bottom of my heart, wherever you are, Denis Lacombe.

First saw this as a kid when it premiered on HBO back in the late eighties. These days, any time I hear the 1812 Overture, my thoughts immediately come back to this.

The most brilliant clown ever! Merci, monsieur! Un chef d'oeuvre!!!

i must reiterate what others have said, thank you so much for posting this. i watched this so many times as a child and it has been well over 15 years since i last saw it. such a nostalgia trip. so great.

This still remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

This was shown on HBO back in the 80s maybe 90s not sure. Somehow I remembered this couple years ago and started to remember it on occasion. Wow good to see it again. I remember watching this as a kid

The man is a genius. there is nothing more to be said.

Been looking for this. I remember from time to time watching it on HBO back in the day 80s or 90s but i remember. Been looking for it and finally found it. I thought he was clown. Some how i found it. Nostalgia i guess

Thank you me and my younger brother use to watch the HBO special.. This takes me back to just being a kid when things were so simple👍🏾😁

This was just used as a prank for Bradley Cooper on the Jimmy Fallon show in his “Maestro” promo interview!

He's the ONLY clown in the world that I like! The man is a freaking genius!

I only wish my conducting class had been as fun as this!

Super performance du Montréalais Denis Lacombe, qui vit à L.A. depuis de nombreuses années

This is the best act (period) of all time (period), clown or otherwise (period). Thanks SO MUCH for posting this.

Like the others below - first saw this in the 1980's, but what's remarkable for us is that I was out for the evening, and one of my daughters happened upon Cirque du Soleil on TV and immediately popped in a blank cassette (VHS) and taped it!

It's been aaaaaggggess since I've seen this!! I'm so happy right now! lol I love what Cirque has done, truly.

i was nine years old when I saw it XD and I was looking for this clip a lot a time and I find it , and it is just as I remembered.

I always pictured that the guy that wrote the 1812 symphony would have conducted the finale just like this.

BRAVO!! Still the core and spirit of cirque.Still hilarious!

I love muted comedy and not so slap stick I saw it on HBO or something wayyyy back in the day I still laugh !! to this day ! What an amazing performance !

Tanks for upload this video man, I saw it back in te 90s and bring me back good memories, its now in my favorite, thanks so much

Super performance de Denis Lacombe. Montréalais qui vit depuis des années à L.A.

Absolutely fantastic!

So great!!!

A saw this in 1996 in Montraux. He was a bit older than. Funny to see the difference!

This guy is just hilarious!

Amazing!!!! How does he do that?? What is the contraption? I assume its a trampoline of some type.

Fantastic! The most funny musical show I've seen...

that part where he struggles with the music reminds me of an old Pink Panther cartoon... it's called "pink, plunk, plink".

Bravo Maestro.

the most amzing bit ever !

Wow, that would have been fun for me to have used. That was hilarious!

Brilliant!

Look closely. He is wearing ski boots and when he gets up there he snaps them into the ski bindings.

Funny really funny i like him!!! awesome...

This clip? It's a clip of one of Cirque du Soleil's original performances. Cirque was founded in Quebec and, like the description above states, they literally reinvented the circus.

As a kid, I thought this was the funniest thing. As an adult, I can't help but speculate that this dude is really good in bed. 🤣

2:57 Looks around, “What’s so funny.”

What is the name of the song he 'conducts'?

6:21 BURLESQUE!
