My Eddie does not like clowns. Actually, more than dislike. They kind of give him the creeps..
As so one must imagine as he must pass the "Slava's SnowShow" marquee everyday.

I finally looked online and it seems that "Slava's SnowShow" is just about Ed's worst idea of a night at the theater.

Here is some information about Slava from the web site.

SLAVA'S STORY
.
Slava Polunin was born in a very small town in Russia, far from all the big cities. All of his childhood was spent in forests, fields, and by a river. He lived in the world of fantasies, and liked to invent new things and make up stories. He would build 4-storey tree houses and snow towns, and organize funny parties for his friends. Through TV and cinema he fell in love with the great clowns and mimes. To be a clown became his biggest dream. He was so passionate about this that he could not wait until he graduated. At the age of 17, he went to Leningrad with the intention of studying engineering. Instead, he joined a mime studio and so began his long-term quest to reclaim and re-establish the art and craft of the true clown. Influenced by great artists such as Chaplin, Marcel Marceau, Engibarov, and building on his innate talents, Slava and his theatre company, founded in 1979, took clowning out of the circus onto the streets, and from there into the major theatres of the world.Slava's reputation grew rapidly and people travelled far to learn his unique mix of alternative clowning and visual theatre. Former students of Slava have now progressed to form their own companies and many have been ...
...cast in productions of Cirque du Soleil, or enjoyed successful independent careers.Slava first took his theatre to England in 1988. His three performances at the Hackney Empire were enough to establish his name overnight. Five years later he gathered together the highlights of his repertoire and the resulting show, Snowshow (formerly called Yellow), was hailed as a triumph, winning him a Time Out Award. Following this London success, he toured North America with Cirque du Soleil's production of Alegria, which continues to feature excerpts from Snowshow. He won the Olivier Award for "Best Entertainment" during a sold-out run at the Old Vic, London in 1997. Snowshow is now touring the world and has been performed in over 25 countries, to more than 1 million spectators. Following a limited season in Chicago, Snowshow premiered in New York at the Union Square Theatre on September 8, 2004. The show continues its successful run in New York with plans underway for a North American tour.
