Falls and Falls

The act was five minutes long on the full stage. These comedy acrobats have an act similar to Rice and Prevost. For their finale, the clown sits on a chair which is balanced on three tables stacked on top of one another. He then tilts the chair backwards and does a back somersault, landing on his feet.
They do a lot of good and difficult work. The final trick with the chair is a real "corker" and completely original.
