It was this time of year again: my favorite festival: The Just for laughs one. I went to see one show:
\n“Skakespeare for dummies” which was OK but what really amuses me the most are the street entertainers.
\nHere are just a few examples of what or who walks by when you sit at a cafe on St Denis street during the festival.<\/p>\n

The walking heads with tongues loved to sneak up on unsuspecting ladies and flick their pink appendage at them. Yes they are retractable! The unicyclist cum juggler with a glass of water on his head was a Brit with a lovely accent.<\/p>\n

The duchesses on stilts were amazing, their costumes and make up were impressive to start with but the fact that they were on stilts made them literally larger than life.
