[ritsfata]

John is the man. He was also in Quidam actually. This is such true slapstick brilliance.

[MultiLpslover]

[Fairytalevillain]

I like John Gilkey... :D

[LisaMarie216]

XD These two are so funny! One of the most hilarious acts I've ever seen froM Crique du Soleil. XD

[TygerWynd]

:50 Hakuta Matata??

[MrRyanGC]

that guy in the yellow has a massive mouth...

[morganjanestarkman]

hahahaha this is funny

[wanderingvoice18]

It is actually Gibberish (except for the occasional English and Italian [2:19]word), I guess it allowed a much more flexible, comical curve for this act

[JohnGilkeyLuvr]

It's been a month since someone said something? wow. I <3 John Gilkey

[NikkiSara13]

John Gilkey = AMAZING!

[RmsteinTypeONegtve]

lol!

[sakuraXmoto]

4:20 lol

[DimsMUXAXA]

do they only speak one language on their performances?

[LisaMarie216]

I don't think so. I think it's a combo of languages though I can't say for certain. :) That's just my guess.

[NikkiSara13]

they speak gibberish- made up language. this way everyone can kind of understand what they mean.

[TossTheTejp]

hakuna matata xD 0:53

[oooos91]

This is hilarious. I love when he dances.lmao

[BubblegumMouth]

LOL HA HA U CANT RESIST THESE GUYS

[Psychorror]

Impossible not to crack a smile when John pulls that ridiculous grin.

[pavelbaez]

Can somebody tell me the name of the violinist from Varekai??

[hppypapillon]

Great show!!!It's so funny !!:)))

[bitchwithbraces1]

<3 funny

[meowjellymoon]

i love john gilkey XD

[VORATAT]

What language are they speakin?

[BuildingBrian]

I don't think it's a real language, I think it's gibberish

[nkris8]

what is gibberish?????????????

[BuildingBrian]

Means it's not a real language.

[Pigsfly23]

French

[showdown456]

It's actually a language the Cirque made up themselves. It's a mixture of English, French, a few African languages, and gibberish all in the mix.

[ForestHuntress]

Thats clever...in a way. I'm glad I enjoyed it more when it wasn't something I could understand when they spoke-for some strange reason.

[athenalamarre]

Cirque didn't make it up! Clown is hundreds of years old. It was so that touring was made easier without a language barrier.

[Jal8919536]

The lightbulb man reminds me of one of the androids from "The City of Lost Children". The costumes in Varekai were designed by Eiko Ishioka who won the 1992 Oscar for Best Costume Design for "Bram Stoker's Dracula".

[anubisnecromantis312]

Hakuna Matata! LOL

[Harvey030547]

I would lov to vitit this cirque. It attracts so much genius.

[diumingo]

muchas felicidades por este gran numero que me hace pasar un rato perfecto

[Inuyashagrl3987]

Oh My Gof this is HILARIOUS!!

[sonic1232]

loli like it when the guy in orange crys

[MoNyOh]

Varekai was the first show I got on DVD... I'm an addict!

[madcelt1]

john gilkey looks alot like my uncle alan!

[dontforgetit94]

he has a tom of makeup on his face though, so you probably couldn't even see it if his face turned red...

[wanderingxchild]

LMFAO! these guys are helarious

<33

[ponkate]

i cant believe he stays up side down for soo long

[ponkate]

i cant believe he stays up side down for soo long

[Aerivanna]

oh shlope, shlope, shlope, shlope!

[roxie883]

see. this is what makes people scared of clowns.

[dontforgetit94]

it's not that scary!

[jebusi]

wat so acare about this clowns im more scare about the clowns with big dresses and big shoes and ugly faces, but thgis clowns their funny

[Babylon2260]

Seggida-saygida-say you're sorry.

[lostWolfpup8]

XD ahahaha

[Atheistsareok]

haha if i stayed upside down for that long my face would be red forever lol

[ritsfata]

imagine being upside down that long

[ritsfata]

the guy with no shirt was also in quidam. He looks like my uncle.

[MattyRasta]

John is the best at what he does!

[Catriona58]

wasn't john the clown in Quidam aswell?

[raelselene]

He sure was! i love his face, so expressive!

[Nenyath]

Yup! For a long while he did and it is him on the Quidam DVD too..

[LisaMarie216]

Everytime I watch this, I have to crack up! It's so hilarious. It gets to the point where sometimes I cant' breathe because I laugh so hard.

[zodi0016]

doesn't he kind of remind you of Jim Carrey?!

[Babylon2260]

Yeah, he does! lolz

[abracadabra72]

I love this act !!!

[subble123]

No that language if French!

[lrose28]

LOL My favorite clown act thus far! (Kinda reminds me of my family, heh heh!) Thanks for posting, Icarusangel27.

[PianoManGidley]

"Slope, slope, slooooope!"  Love it! So much portrayed with all that...hehe.

[js5P4D35oh]

i heard the language was "cirquish" said like serkish and it was used by performers in the time of the gypsies

[fugue83]

That's one of my favourite bits (so hard to pick!) from Varekai! Thanks for posting!

[Chthonicdirge]

I recognise a few words here and there .. either it is coincidence, or I hear some croatian/macedonian/serbian in there. (The three of them are very similar.) Especially during the handbalancing scene - the word 'slatko' is spoken emphatically throughout the song and translates to 'sweet'.

[gud4nothingabby1648]

o man i love this part lol very funny and always brightens my day and not only that is sorta reminds my of sponge bob and squidward

[SolitudeVolante]

Is that a Real language?

[Icarusangel27]

I don't think so...I thought it was just gibberish, but seriously don't trust me. I don't know any other languages, so I can't tell!! Perhaps you could look it up, unless someone else knows.

[crystal03]

It's gibberish.  Sometimes they do take bits and pieces from real language (gypsy words, French, Spanish, English), but mostly it's gibberish.

[luv4manga]

@Icarusangel27 I think that some of the songs throughout the Cirque Du Soleil songs might be in other languages (Because some can be dubbed to English) but none of the things said in acts like this are real, they just try to think of things to say that give the audience an idea of what's going on.

[ritsfata]

@Icarusangel27 Yea, cirque has their own language that they use in their music, a mix of languages. It's all about the emotion and feeling then meaning.

[ritsfata]

@Icarusangel27 Cirque often does a mix of gibberish and the local language. Makes it funnier, I think so anyway.

[bdzt92]

@Icarusangel27 its gibberishing!--xd i hve notice that is a mix of a lot of languages..xD

[imah12345]

@Icarusangel27 its a real langueg its just spanish i dont talk spanish but some of the words i know

[LisaMarie216]

It's probably just a made up language, something of a combo of all languages. But it could be a real language, though I highly doubt it.

[supersonicmagnifique]

No, Cirquish

[xrentabrainx]

@SolitudeVolante yeah its french

[AkiraRose]

@SolitudeVolante i read somewhere that they created their oen language as a mixture of a few different ones like french etc. while this is probably just random gibberish.

[TBOEandJW]

@SolitudeVolante Actually it's the Cirque's own language they have invented. Only actors and crique-crew/staff and even the singers who are hired know the language. It's kinda used to keep the story magical and separate from the audience's world. Besides, in acting, the BEST actors can act in a completely unfamiliar language to the audience and the audience should still be able to understand what's going on. If they DO add english, it's to kinda make a connection to the audience.

[TimeWaster001]

@SolitudeVolante It's Cirque du Soleil's own language they created. The audience is not intended to understand it unless the show wants the audience to understand in which case they would have English, French, or other commonly known languages spoken during key parts of the show. They would use phrases like, "Avec moi, si vous plais" or English like this part with the clowns where the Skywatcher says, "Say you're sorry" to the lighbulb guy! XD LOL I love that part! It always makes me laugh!

[JustinSouvanna]

@SolitudeVolante It's not, Cirque doesn't use real languages so that audiences could interpret the show their own way.

[kakoiibampaia]

@SolitudeVolante it's made up language they call "cirqish"... but they also tend to use words from other languages like spanish, english, french, italian and so on.. :D

[crystal03]

Nobody can play the part like John can :) I saw this live without Dergin and John, it wasn't the same.

Oh!- If you wanna know who Dergin is, look up "Dergin Tokmak"

[LadyAyako]

Both I should say were very good. I love these two actors for these shows!

[LadyAyako]

For uploading this of course

[LadyAyako]

I love this part. Both are hilarious and I agree with ShadowDancer5, John Gikey is so, so hilarious. 5 stars! Thankyou so much

[ShadowDancer5]

This is my favorite comedy bit in this show, and Varekai is my favorite Cirque Du Soleil show (and John Gilkey is absolutely hilarious)! Thanks for uploading this! :)

[LadyAyako]

Oh, I agree. I cracked myself up in this! I like Dralion and Quidam though. But Varekai was really good, mom didn't think so

[x3crimeXscenex3]

i love this show..it is awesome live and this is like the funnest part of the whole show..i love it

[kase131]

[Monokoto]
