am I the only circus fan that thinks David Larible was boring and amateurish. He certainly wasn't funny and killed a lot of quality time. Can't believe Kenny featured him all those years

There was an interview with Kenny about his Barnum's Kaleidoscope, in which he said without David Larible, he wouldn't have tried it. Proving time and again he is less than a showman, Kenny featured David in overlong solos that quickly failed in entertainment value and could best be described as fillers for a thin Feld production.

Didn't Kenneth Field also close down "clown college" that his dad started to help produce the next generation of professional clowns?
