Get Out Tonight: Clown Cabaret @ the Rendezvous

There are plenty of very talented people singing, dancing, acting, performing burlesque and telling the jokes. However, we never really walk away from shows thinking, I've never seen that in Seattle.

Tonight you'll have that chance when three Cirque Du Soleil trained clowns perform at the Rendezvous in Belltown.

Basically a few of the clowns from the Las Vegas show La Rêve are in town and wanted to entertain the masses with a bunch of stuff they can't, or aren't able, to fit into their regular Sin City gig.

We saw La Rêve in Vegas and were blown away by the grand scale of the thing. We're not used to shows that need an indoor diving pool and choreographed birds. Throughout all of the budget expanding details, we were drawn to the show's comic relief.

The clowns were able to outperform the acrobats, high divers, and gymnasts on wires. They do it, not with look-at-me-theatrics, rather heart filled silliness and strong physical comedy that resembles dance.

Tonight, they'll be accompanied by the singing and cellisting(?) of a fellow former Cirque Du Soleiler Ashia. So it's not like you'll be watching three guys flip around on a stage.

Ashia and Your New Best Friends in 'Our Very Best?' Tonight, 10:30 at the Rendezvous in Belltown.

Cost, just five dollars. What better way to celebrate Lincoln's birthday than exchanging his face for a night of unique entertainment?
