I've been loodsa times, sometimes it's great, sometimes not
Basically they always have some rather s**t "theme" running through the show where a few mime artists/ddncers develop some grand abstract idea which you can't understand against a backing track of really s**t s**t s**t electrofunk. Really Canadian whimsy. While this is happening you start wishing for the world to end.
Then on comes the next proper act, which is sometimes "just" really good circus stuff but more often is pretty mindblowingly amazing - the last one I went to, for example, had some huge muscly guy doing just incredible tricks with a giant steel double hoop (impossible to explain). They have contortionists, jugglers, acrobats - and every single one is likely to be better than anyone else you've ever seen at that thing
Their clowns are sometimes brilliant and sometimes so bad that you want to punch them in the face.
