Rave Reviews Denis Lacombe a French Canadian clown and master mime, is a one-ring circus unto himself.
– WILLIAM A. RAIDY (The Star Ledger)
The most amusing human clown is a visitor from Canada, Denis Lacombe, who, with a lunatic gleam, demonstrate the infinite ways that a fool can strike himself in the face with custard pie.
– MEL GUSSOW (The New York Times)
Denis Lacombe is so broad and exuberant that the most stoic spectator will find tears of laughter dribbling down his cheeks. One can argue forever about the genius of Lacombe; but the fact that the man is a certifiable nut is clearly not open to question.
– HERB CLEMENT (Statra Island Regisser)
His routine as a mechanical clown is a work of genius; he's the Picasso of pie-in-the-face, or perhaps the Jackson Pollock, an abstract expressionnist working in whipped cream if his routine could have been mounted and framed, it would hand in the Louvre.
– JAY STONE (The Citizen Ottawa)
The other big laugh of the show is provided by a manic French-Canadian newcomer, Denis Lacombe, who does a superbly acrobatic mime sketch of an enthusiastically mad napoleonic conductor meeting his Waterloo conducting Tchaïkovsky's "1812" Overture."
– CLIVE BARNES (New York Post)
Lacombe scores high on the chuckle meter.
– NEAL HALL (Vancouver Sun)
It is an indescribable act; is never been seen, it is mockery, burlesque and creative all in one.
– JACQUELINE CARTIER (France Soir) ... A great novelty innovation, a puff of air in the current world of clowns.
– LA VOIX DU CIRQUE (France)
... Visualy stunning!
– PAUL CAUCHON (Le Devoir - Montréal)
Funny, inventive, his act is a performance which rally all arts.
– MANON GUILBERT (Journal de Montréal)
Hilarious!
– PHILIP PLEWS (The Globe and Mail)
