Fringe Festival "Cirque du Gay" review by ajennings

The Happy Circus
Rating: 5

Cirque du Gay: The Happy Circus
by KC Fringe Festival

"Cirque du Gay: The Happy Circus" is the funniest circus I've been to in years! Dennis Porter and Peyton Westfall put on one wonderful performance after another, and dealt with technical problems well when the storm outside blew a breaker and the lights didn't come on, even quipping that we were in for the "Helen Keller performance".

'Magic To Do' opened the show, and got the audience smiling, laughing, and clapping from the very beginning. Other stand-out pieces were 'Never There', featuring Peyton, 'BBQ Burlesque' and 'Dances of All Times' featuring Dennis. They both interacted with the audience continually, especially when they decided to hold 'The Audition'.

I couldn't help but smile, laugh, hoot and holler through this wonderful circus. I encourage everyone to catch their final performance is Sun at 3:30pm at The Pearl Living Room!
