PREFACE: So my wife got us tickets to see a live show, The Cirque Magique. It would be the two of us, and the 16yo step-daughter. Going for a lunch and a show.
The reviews were positive for this thing. I didn`t know what to expect. Can`t say I`ve ever gone to the circus. Can`t say I`ve seen a real magic show. So this, I thought, would be a good experience.
++++ READ THIS ++++
More than half way through the show, as I was eating my hamburger and fries, the two clowns came out marching. These two clowns had been a part of the show from the very beginning. Sometimes, one of them would be part of another entertainer`s bit (hula hoop girl, magic guy, talented/ funny guy, etc).
So I`m eating, and these two clowns are marching from off the right of the stage, and looks like they`re making a way toward the exit. Just passed where I was sitting. They`re marching, and they are carrying three folding chairs.
They stop very close to me, and start marching in place. Then they stop. I`m eating, taking a sip from my lemonade, and things got kind of quiet. I look to my left, and there they were. Within 4-5 feet from me. Not only that, but they`re looking at me. No. They were STARING at me. I`m confused at this point, so I try to ignore them and take another sip.
Well, they kept staring at me. They moved in closer. They kept staring. They moved in closer...still staring. I was wondering what the heck was going on. Then they LEAN in looking at me weird. Staring. The stare was very uncomfortable at this point. I can feel THE ENTIRE audience looking at me. I`m not one that likes attention (let`s, for a minute, forget that I was filmed for Competition Ready). I really don`t like attention. Especially in public like that. So uncomfortable.
Anyway, after what seemed like 5 minutes (probably 15 seconds?) I lifted my hand toward Skinny Guy Clown (aka Snickers), without saying a word, and with my other hand, I point my index finger at my wedding ring. Then I point at my wife. I made the clowns laugh!!! But seriously, the way they were looking at me, one would think they were hitting on me or something.
Now the next part is a blank. I have no idea how it happened, but I stood up. Some comments/jokes/whatever were exchanged and/or directed at me...I don`t know. I went to sit back down. NO. They were not having it. Funny Hair Clown tells me to grab one of the folding chairs he was holding, so I did. Then nothing.
Ooooookayyy. So now what? He tells me to follow him. So I did. The next 4-5 minutes is shown in the video. I kid you not, it did NOT feel like 4-5 minutes. It felt like 15 or more!!!! I am known to be a quiet guy. Shy, even. I don`t speak loudly. I am a soft-spoken individual and keep to myself. What happens next is something NOBODY that knows me would EVER believe. But my wife, God bless her, has the proof that it actually happened.
For your viewing pleasure.... (if the YouTube button thing works!)

Clowning Around, that was supposed to be the original thread title. And yes, I was clowning around. I wanted my wife and kid to have a fun time, even if it came at my expense. I do have a sense of humor, after all.
