YouTube is a gold mine for finding cool street performers. I came across these guys earlier today and thought I’d share it with you guys. Got some you’d like to share?

Cant go past Mario Queen of the Circus.

Excellent juggler and charimastic performer, but also saw him MC a cabaret show in a spiegeltent [similar to second link]. Sensational.

I saw these guys [Gutter Brothers Everlasting - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOt45udmNdo) live in Leicester Square, London about 40 years ago.  
A great skiffle band!
