having read this thread, i was wondering what the best street acts you have ever watched were? also what do you think of buskers? personally i don\'t mind as long as they aren\'t in your face or disruptive
we have a few in cardiff that stick out for different reasons:
one is a scruffy old fella in a wheel chair who only seems to be able to slightly move his head and hands (god knows whats wrong with him, he looks like a drunk after a week on the piss). he has a dodgy little 2 octave mini keyboard that he presses one note on and then gurgles into the microphone. i assumed he was just doing it randomly but caught a bit of amazing grace tune the other day! he also sells tapes!
there a cool dude who attaches a rope between 2 trees and plays the violin while walking up and down it. he\'s pretty good
theres also an old dude who sings. he\'s become a bit of an icon as he is just some old fella with a very mediocre voice who sings into one of those children\'s microphones that make your voice seem echoey. always brings a smile to my face (despite that fact that people love him so much, he probably makes more than me!!)
the funniest i ever saw though was in portugal. it was one of those silent, statue acts. the fella was dressed up all posh and he was supposed to be the puppet master to the woman\'s puppet. she had a face like thunder anyway and i didn\'t like them. but a stray dog made my day by insisting on humping her leg! he face looked even more sour after that. cracked me right up
so, whats yours?
