FORMER WCW WORLD CHAMPION JOINS THE CIRCUS, LITERALLY, AND HE'S BRINGING BOZO THE CLOWN WITH HIM

The Hollywood Reporter revealed today that former WCW World Champion David Arquette has literally joined the circus, and he's bringing classic television character Bozo the Clown with him.

Arquette is launching Empire Circus, a new, interactive choose your own adventure experience in Brooklyn, NY this November.  The adventure, which will play out over five floors and outside of Empire Stores will ask guests to choose between being a crew member at the circus, a Grand Prize Game Show contestant or an aerialist as they go through an experience that promises to take "the circus out of the ring and lets you control your experience. Choose your entry time, go at your own pace, play and interact as you please. This 100% interactive experience puts you in the center of the circus with roaming performers and pop-up circus acts all throughout the day."

Beloved children's television show character Bozo the Clown will be part of the experience as Arquette acquired the rights to the character after the passing of the legendary Larry B. Harmon, who shepherded and maintained the rights to Bozo from 1956 until his passing in 2008.

“Bozo represents a world of love, light, and laughter. Something we can all use more of right now.” Arquette said in a statement.  “There is a Bozo inside each and every one of us and letting our Bozo out will help make the world a brighter place.”
