I doubt thats a recent shot from the show.

Could be a picture that appears in the program.

because I've seen this picture before and a lot of times

and Hector the august looks sttill younger then he is now on the picture.

Granted that Yann (the white-face) and his brother Hector are currently in Switzerland with Knie, but this shot is a standard publicity one for them.
The family name is actually Rossi. Hence Rossi-Yann, which became Rossyann.
Brilliant musicians, and I like them, but I've never really found them to be funny. Fun, yes. Amusing, yes. But that's as far as it goes for me.

youre wright John.

I saw them severall times and they are brilliant musicians
and the acts are amusing: for instans the tere act with the white face hats.

and there costumes are beautifull yann is currently onse of the best looking white face clowns in europe.

but funny they aren't. you don't laugh untill you are crying tears no.

and 90 % of there entrees are musical.

they have only a few acts without instruments.

they do the hat juggling thing, I saw the ghost castle ( in scottisch kilts) and the bullet act with them and it was ok but the jokes werent great.

the audience wanst rolling on the floor and laughing.

and those numbers should do that.

also they arent amusing for the children.

although they are a surplus for every circus performance.

but you should have a reprise clown in the same program for the laughs.

Just wondering if we've met.
Do we both know Marc/Piko from the Antwerp area?

Best Wishes,

But yes I know Marc Goethals from Hemiksem.

a tall big man

because he used to work for the same company that my father worked for. ( bell telephone)

he wasnt a fulltime clown ( know hes retired)

and if there was a christmas party or a big open day ther was a small circus on the grounds a he did perform there.

he still performs
