That'd be the reason NOT to collect clown posters (a) I like to frame my 'special' posters (b) Coulrophobia is not that uncommon (yes I had to look that up) - not that I have it but we do get young kids staying here from time to time...

Did you know that 99% of clowns hate kids
In my previous life on the road i did spend some time in grease paint

One day me and a friend where sent into town in full clown makeup to hand out advertisement leaflets to the public
It was a hot day and neither of us really wanted to spend time handing out leaflets and when we came across the local Macdonalds restaurant we instantly decided it was lunch time.
I was in a bright yellow tuxedo and wearing a red wool wig with big red shoes, the resemblance to a certain Ronald was uncanny, so i approached the counter and informed the lady that my uncle Ronald said we could have anything we wanted on the house, it worked and we both got a free lunch  ;D
While we where eating we noticed they had a bench with a statue of our "uncle" where people could sit and have their picture taken, so i decided it would be funny to sit real still on the opposite end of the bench to the statue. After about 5 mins a woman walked in with her 2 young girls who were about 6 and 8 years old , she ordered her meals and then noticed the bench and instructed her kids to sit between the clowns for a photo. As soon as she said "cheese" i jumped up and yelled "BOO!!" both the girls on the bench screamed and proceeded to piss themselves. Their mother had to take them into the toilets to clean them up and we took that as our queue to leave  ;D
No doubt i am personally responsible for 2 cases of Coulrophobia  8)

Does anyone have any info on obtaining or even any potential value of original release posters for the Cirque du Soleil shows? I can find little info and even the official Cirque site store doesn't offer posters from any of their shows, current or older.

Certain sites like Moviegoods and Moviepostershop only have newer reprints for sale. Even ebay had little to show, as far as originals go.

When in Los Angeles, they set up their tents and stands down at the Santa Monica Pier. Always amazing and magical performances to watch, especially at the water's edge like that.  thumbup

Thanks all.   :)

Should have asked her to steal one for you.

A circus memorabilia collector just now sent me a poster in action of this poster in my collection. Click the poster to see other angles of it on the floor.

510cm x 155cm  (~ 16' x 5')

Nah, some dbag kept out bidding me lol. What irritates me is that I think I have been in a bidding war with that person before because that username seemed very familiar. Basically I lost all of them today.

My rule: If you outbid me, then you are a dbag and I will hate you forever haha.

Apart from the African one that was in Albany (western australia) which I pulled off a shop window myself, the rest I bought in one lot off ebay years back.
I wanted a few, these are not huge and fit in a large sized art folio thing with plastic sleeves I can flip through. (I keep belgians in a similar folder)
