Aqua the Clown, You Suck!

I don't know how many of you have had the displeasure of going to the Tommy Bartlett Show in the Wisconsin Dells, promoted as the Greatest Show on H20, but if you haven't and plan on going, get ready to see the suckiest clown on H20, or anywhere else for that matter.

His name is Aqua the Clown, and he makes it easy for me to understand why some people are afraid of clowns. In fact, I think a visitor to the Tommy Bartlett Show has been credited with coining the phrase "ass clown" in his honor.

Clowns are supposed to make you laugh, and I'm guessing that's what the people behind the Tommy Bartlett Show thought Aqua would do, but in reality, he makes a decent night of entertainment for the kids a living hell for any grown ups who come out to see the show.

Lake Delton, home to the Greatest Show on H20, is now dry land thanks to torrential rains that broke a local dam and caused the lake to drain. Vacation homes in the area were washed away, businesses that have thrived for years are now struggling to stay alive. But the saddest part of it all is that the Tommy Bartlett Show has lost all of its water acts. What's left is a sound effects comedian, jugglers and our friend Aqua, who works to entertain the crowds with all of his zany antics.

The only problem is that Aqua's act is not that zany. In fact, its mind-numbingly stupid. Meager crowds come in to see the show, where barren land covers the landscape instead of beautiful Lake Delton. It's a dismal site to behold, and Aqua only makes it worse.

I can't blame people for going to see the show to try to help the community survive, as I'm a big fan of the Dells area myself, but if you are looking for a night of entertainment, you'd probably have more fun staying at home and sticking a fork in your eye than you would watching Aqua T. Clown's dumb ass shenanigans.
