"DID I ever tell you I used to work in the circus?
Didn’t have an act as such but I was the only one who could get the tent back into the bag.
My dad was the stilt walker (I always looked up to him) and my mum was the world’s worst knife thrower’s assistant. She faced the axe every week.
My uncle was the human cannonball. He got fired (after a dispute about travelling expenses) and the act was never the same again.
They couldn’t find another man of his calibre."
If that makes you laugh, click here for more of the same in a very funny review of the Moscow State Circus by Tam Cowan in the Daily record.
