One of the things I enjoy most, other than the shows and the city itself, at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival are the street performers. This year we saw some marvelous living statutes...or whatever they call themselves. The angel and gargoyles were truly incredible. They were on stilts and wandered through the crowds with ease. They gargoyles would chase people and then all of a sudden all 3 (gargoyles and angel) would stop and strike a pose...usually of the angel slaying the gargoyles.

My favorite, though, was the female angel. She was absolutelybeautiful....so calm and serene with a mischiveous grin. People could go up to her and have a photo taken. Three little children went up and stood in front of her. What they weren't aware of was that that the angel moved and made rabbit ears behind their heads. I'm sure the children will be surprised to see that! Someone brought a baby to her and the angel squated down and took the baby in her arms. It was gorgeous!
