Varieté Paradiso

2023 –

A family show filled with comedy which is a tribute to the history of Circus, Varieté & Vaudeville! A family show for all ages – for the Ages! An updated version of the 2017 success!

This is a tribute to the history of Circus, Varieté & Vaudeville! The clown duo Totto and Gunnar believe they can do everything a circus can offer: Fly out of a cannon, build a human pyramid (together with the audience), tame lions, balance 8 wine glasses on their head, eating fire, swallowing swords, climbing into balloons, telling love stories while doing magic… They realize that they can do everything except… except maybe… maybe the first three… or so. The street show ends with Jan’s World Famous Balloon Act.  

A contemporary family circus show, with artists Jan Unestam and Magnus Jarlöv, opening their treasure troves of craziness and laughter.

Run time: approx. 45 min.

Two Headless Men

2019 –

In a tribute to Surrealism, this street act is built on Comedy with many surprises and tender-hearted actions!

Two well-dressed men without heads are out for a stroll. But why without heads? Could they be secret agents? Or are they simply a couple of shy and modest gentlemen that prefer to go about their business without being disturbed?

Suddenly they stop in front of a group of curious onlookers and out of their sleeves appear… And above the shirt collar, a set of eyes…

Performers: Magnus Jarlöv and Jan Unestam

Burning Clowns

Burning Clowns - street show

2021 –

This show is filled with improvisation, comedy, slapstick and of course a lot of fire!

Monsieur Jean – Baptiste Champagne de la Cognac hereby wishes to present his new fire show ”Flames of Eternity”!

French Artiste Jean-Baptiste is a perfectionist who really hates mistakes –  which is particularly true if something goes wrong in his own show. He is then very quick to blame everyone else, but himself. There is just one problem; Baptiste is not the great artist he himself imagines. Fortunately, his ”assistant” Gunnar is always there to save the day, rescue the show and to put Jean-Baptiste in the spotlight he so dearly desires.

Inspired by the two comedy characters Basil (played by John Cleese) and the Spanish waiter Manuel in ”Fawlty Towers”, we have created a duo clown act for the whole family. 

Performers: Magnus Jarlöv and Jan Unestam

Run time: approx. 45 min.

A Universe of Love

2018 –

 An improvised and interactive walking-act filled with Humour and Love! ”Welcome, welcome… to A Universe of Love!”

An immensely tall man in a suit and a red top hat, suddenly appears behind you like a warm gust of wind! With great joy and affection he lovingly greets everyone he meets, and bids them to pass through his beautiful and magical curtain…
…”Welcome, welcome… to A Universe of Love!”

Inside, another man in a red suit and with an enormous red balloon on his head, springs to life… Slowly and with some trepidation he silently approaches you as he lovingly, without words, tries to communicate and interact.

Performers: Magnus Jarlöv and Jan Unestam

Two Tall Gentlemen

2020 –

This is a classical walking act with two 4 meter High Gentlemen – For the whole family! (Familjeföreställning)

One must be always drunk. Everything lies in that; it is the only question worth considering. In order not to feel the horrible burden of time which breaks your shoulders and bows you down to earth, you must intoxicate yourself without truce, but with what? With wine, poetry, or art? – As you will; but intoxicate yourself” (Charles Baudelaire)

It is a mixture of magic, circus tricks and music to make the audience dance and truly enjoy themselves!

Ursäkta stör jag? (Pardon me?)

2015-

An interactive walking-act with comic, absurd, and very human performances. 

Three strange characters, all in masks, suddenly make an appearance at your festival. An incessantly painting artist, a very outgoing, most enthusiastic baker and an over-zealous bureaucrat all try to communicate – between themselves, with the world around them and with you… 

A comic, absurd, and very human performance. 

Eld-drömmar (Dreams of fire)

2017

An evocative and fiery performance with sword swallowing, burning objects and magic, all to the sounds and harmonies of accordion and electric violin playing…

Performers: Magnus Jarlöv, Jan Unestam, and Raimo Juntunen
